El pequeño conejo blanco

Returning from picking cabbages in the garden to make broth, the little white rabbit finds his house occupied by the fearsome goat. After asking for help from several animals larger than himself without success, only the tiniest of them all dares to confront the wicked goat. "The Little White Rabbit" is an adaptation by Xosé Ballesteros of a Portuguese folktale, with illustrations by Óscar Villán, who won the National Illustration Prize for this work in 1999. It is a formulaic text designed to be both read and told aloud, and it makes special use of sound and rhyme. A story about friendship and courage that shows that bravery is not a matter of size.
