     Bun: a wild rabbit is a classic by Joseph Wharton Lippincott, originally published in 1918. It's a real story of a little Georgia cottontail - how he was kept and brought all the way to Pennsylvania; how he eluded the hounds, met Brownie, was captured, and finally went homing back to the woods.
     Any child who makes the acquaintance of Bun will have a real knowledge of rabbit ways.

Content Considerations
  • There is an entire chapter where Bun is chased by a pack of hounds, which may be stressful to a very sensitive reader. Excerpt:  
​​​"Bun’s ears did look loose with fatigue, his hops seemed lagging. He was going back toward the farm, and not twenty yards behind were three of the beagle pack. Strong runners these three, and very eager."
  • ​​The runt of the litter is taken away by hawks. Excerpt:    
     "He and Brownie together kept the youngsters out of all kinds of dangers until a pair of red-tail hawks located the family. After that there was scarcely an hour of the day that one of these birds could not be seen watching from a limb of the poplar tree or sailing over the quarry.
     They caught the runt of the family and bore him off in triumph to their young ones, and they very nearly succeeded in getting one of the others. It was up to Bun to do something quickly, and he did."
