This is a humorous, kindly and lively tale, with the most beautiful drawings Robert Lawson ever has made. It could come only from a long and intimate understanding, a partnership, really, with rabbits and moles, field mice and skunks and all the other small creatures whose lives are so involved with the humans in their neighborhood. Rabbit Hill—the philosophy of live and let live in an irresistible package.

The drawings are hand in glove with the text. Little Georgie's leaps across the Connecticut fields give one a new vision of that countryside more beautiful than ever before—Porkey, at the door of his burrow, establishes the proprietary rights of all the Little Animals to their homes—Uncle Analdas, disinterested but debonair—Mr. Muldoon, solemnly aloof—the gathering along the road to see the New Folks' arrival, where every shrub and rock and tree hides a Little Animal. It's just a perfect combination.
