The best book about manners ever. I just love the illustrations and the bad rabbit. Hee! Fierce!

Interesting little story! The fierce bad rabbit in this story steals a carrot, and in a (seemingly) unrelated incident, gets spotted by a man with a gun, who shoots the rabbit. The fierce bad rabbit gets away, but not with his whiskers and tail. Unusual "punishment" for his stealing ways.

This is a fully illustrated short story book about a couple of a rabbits, one good and one a nasty one who bullies the good rabbit. The bad rabbit attacks the Good rabbit and steals his carrot. In turn, the fierce rabbit ended up with losing tails and whiskers when a hunter approached him. Though short, it's a good book for young kids, equip with moral nurturing story and a fully illustrated pages to company the story. Most kids would love this book, but personally when I was one, I love a bit more longer of a story than this one.

The fierce rabbit takes the good rabbit’s carrot and scratches him. He is seen by the hunter, however, and his tail and whiskers get shot off as he runs away. He also loses the carrot.

The moral of this very short story is 'you'll get your tail and whiskers shot off if you are naughty'.
