Room for Rabbit

(Sequel to Missing Rabbit)

illust. by Cyd Moore. Clarion/Houghton Mifflin. Grades PreK-3

Rabbit goes wherever Kara goes—sometimes to Mama’s house, sometimes to Papa’s house. Now Papa is coming to pick up Kara and Rabbit and take them to his house. But this time things are different. Peggy, Papa’s new wife, lives there, too. She makes costumes for people who act in plays, and the house is full of her things.

When Kara and Rabbit try to lie on the couch where she and Papa snuggle to tell each other stories, they can’t—because it’s hidden under mountains of gloves. When they try to sit in the special chair Papa made for them, they can’t—because it’s covered in capes. It’s even hard to find a hiding place for hide-and-seek! How can Kara and Rabbit make sure there’s enough room for them?

The beloved characters from Missing Rabbit are back in a brand-new story that offers comfort to children and stepparents.

“As in Missing Rabbit, Schotter & Moore explore the complicated sadness of divorce within a story that’s as reassuring and snug as a favorite blanket. Schotter’s rhythmic, descriptive words include specifics that show the acceptance and love Kara enjoys . . . A good read-aloud for children struggling with feelings of displacement.” Booklist
