A Little Golden Book that I couldn't pass up at the thrift store because of the illustrator Gustaf Tenggren. Best known as an illustrator for Disney during it's Golden Age, his distinctive art always catches my eye.
The Lively Little Rabbit
Ariane
illustrations by Gustaf Tenggren 1943
In this story a lively little rabbit likes to run and play with his brothers and sisters. But there is a weasel who would like nothing better than to have a rabbit for breakfast. After the Lively Little Rabbit gets chased from his home and ends up lost, he meets a wise squirrel and owl who not only help him to get home again but figure out a way to teach that weasel a lesson once and for all! (I think their plan inspired something similar in the movie "A Bug's Life".)
