Country Bunny with long-legged Jackrabbits from The Country Bunny And The Little Gold Shoes coloring pages

Country Bunny with long-legged Jackrabbits

(new drawing today)

I posted a new drawing a couple of days ago that was also from this wonderful children's book.  It is called The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes.  This is an avante-garde book that was ahead of its time.  I found it inspiring when I was a little boy.  

The book is about a little country girl bunny who wants to become an Easter  Bunny.  The Jackrabbits with their long legs who were fast runners made fun of her.  so did the White Rabbits in their fine houses.

I recommend you read the story.  It is called The Country Bunny And The Little Gold Shoes.  It is available at bookstores this time of year.  I also found it on amazon.com for only $1.99  I think that everyone should read this book.  At least every child should read it.  By the way, I am not paid anything by Amazon, I just love this book.  This inexpensive copy is the Kindle edition.  The artwork is amazing in this book.  The artist, Marjorie Hack, also illustrated the great children's book called The Story of Ping. 

I wrote a song parody for this book back when I taught elementary school.   Here are the other drawings I have done from this excellent storybook along with the song parody.   These drawings of mine are Fan Art.  Click on the "Holidays" button up top to get the printable versions of the drawings.

Country Bunny Song

Sung to the tune of On Top of Old Smokey

By Robin Lyman

A small Country Bunny

Said I'm going to be

A great Easter Bunny

Just you wait and see

She had twenty-one babies

She was wise swift and kind

She was the best bunny

Grandfather could find

He made her a bunny

that brought all the eggs

and gave her some gold shoes

when she hurt her leg

Other Easter Bunnies

Really did not mind

Cause to be Easter Bunnies

You're wise swift and kind

So if you're some bunny

who has a big dream

You may turn out to be

Much more than you seem
