Smudge is the only little rabbit without brothers and sisters. 'Wait until the spring,' says his mother, but spring is a long time coming. In the autumn he makes a branch and leaf rabbit, in winter a snow rabbit, and in early spring a mud rabbit, But none of these is satisfactory for playing with. When he begins looking for the promised babies, he finds mouse babies, robin eggs, and frog spawn, but no rabbit babies - until he goes home, where there are two brothers and a sister waiting. Gentle drawings. Excellent for discussion of different sorts of babies, and nice for the child who is finding nine months a very long wait.
