Pages: 128
Genre: Middlegrade Fiction
Publication Date: September 1944
It has been a while since Folks lived in the Big House, and an even longer time has passed since there has been a garden at the House. All the animals of the Hill are very excited about the new Folks moving in, and they wonder how things are going to change. It's only a matter of time before the animals of the Hill find out just who is moving in, and they may be a little bit surprised when they do.
My quest to read all the
Newbery winners continues with Rabbit
Hill, the winner from 1945. The story primarily focuses on a family of
rabbits, who are very excited that a family is moving into the abandoned house
near their hill. All the small animals on the hill are starving because they
rely on the garden at the house for food. The animals don’t know if the new Folks
will be nice people who like animals or mean people who trap and kill animals.
