I LOVE Bill Peet books. These are ones I grew up reading with my mom. She loves them too, so it's definitely a nostalgic read for me. My kids really enjoy his books as well.

Not too preachy, just a fun story.

I have a few reviews left for October from last year. Here is a story I read my nephew.


Harold had big feet and little did his parents know how big he would get. He grew so much, he had no where to hide and he had to go on the run. Hunters chased him, foxes and owls chased this big meal together. No where was he safe, not even the old haunted house in town. He hide in the tops of trees and under bridges and still he ran. Finally, it was snowy and he hoped into a barn where he meet a kind farmer who stopped the hunters. The man gave Harold a place to live and eventually he hitched Harold like a horse and let Harold go. I do love the end when Harold wins a horse race he’s so fast.

This is told in rhyme. It is fast paced and Harold has to move and move. I did wonder where the story was going, but I needn’t have as Bill Peet knows how to tell a good story. Harold looks rather scruffy, but for a rabbit on the run, I suppose he should. Bill doesn’t do overly cute, usually.

The nephew loved Harold the huge rabbit. He didn’t want the hunters to get him and he was worried. He too loved the ending at the race. He gave this 4 stars. He is a fan of Harold.
