Sure, they have fluffy coats and wiggly noses, but rabbits also have remarkable instincts which they need in order to detect and then escape from their enemies. They can see better in the dark than people. By thumping their powerful hind legs, they can warn one another that danger is near.

With colorful illustrations, diagrams, and unusual facts, award-winning science author Gail Gibbons shows young readers that there is much more to these cuddly creatures than meets the eye. The book includes instructions for caring for pet rabbits.
