When the rabbit children are told that mum is expecting a baby, Dan, Donny and Daisy accept the news philosophically. Davy is less happy: 'I thought I was your baby,' he mutters. After a chat with his friend Eddie, who isn't at all happy about his new brother, Davy is even less pleased. However, when the new sister arrives, it is Davy who can stop her crying, and as she sleeps in his arms, he notes what a perfect little bunny she is, and he wants to protect her. He and Eddie decide they will teach their younger siblings 'how to take extra snacks without anyone noticing, and how to look cute so mother won't scold you...how to make bark boats and whistle with grass stems...' Davy is a winner! The pictures, full of life and charm, are outstanding, and Davy and his family are as real as real can be.
