Adapted from a public domain story written in 1931, THE LITTLE RABBIT WHO WANTED RED WINGS is a children's story about a little white rabbit named Beauty. Beauty is a beautiful rabbit. However, she doesn't think so. Beauty thinks the squirrels and birds are far prettier than she. Her mother tries to get her to see how beautiful she is, but Beauty keeps longing to be different. So, her mother sends Beauty to Mr. Woodchuck who is very wise. Mr. Woodchuck knows how to help Beauty. Beauty discovers that sometimes it's best to be thankful for what you are instead of wishing to be something you are not.THE LITTLE RABBIT WHO WANTED RED WINGS is a charming little story. My only issue with the book is the illustration. Every page has the same illustration. It would have been better to either have no illustrations or just one illustration on the first page of the book. The same picture seen over and over and over is distracting from the actual story. Overall, I enjoyed THE LITTLE RABBIT WHO WANTED RED WINGS, but found the repetitive illustration to be distracting to the story, instead of an enhancement.
