When Herb, a magician's rabbit, gets sick and tired of being pulled out
of Abracadabra Al's hat, he quits and sets out to find a new job. A
funny and irreverent picture book about standing up for yourself,
complete with bright collage art and a healthy dose of friendship. "What
a romp! Sure to be a read-aloud favorite."--School Library Journal
Herb the magician's rabbit loves the attention, the applause, and the
carrots that are thrown on the stage every night by his adoring
audience. But Herb does not like being stuffed into Abracadabra Al's hat
and--Presto!--being pulled out by his ears. Ouch!
Finally fed up, Herb quits his job as a magician's rabbit and sets out
to look for a new profession. Should he become a carrot farmer? Try his
luck as a wild rabbit? Or take a risk and become a girl named Sophie's
pet rabbit? This funny picture book stars a big and floppy-eared rabbit
with some strong feelings about the importance of good workplace
conditions. Herb is a great character to introduce at Easter, and his
story of finding friendship and happiness against all odds will resonate
year round. "This unexpected and lovely offering that ends with a warm
friendship is beautifully illustrated with McGill's expressive,
whimsical collages."--School Library Journal
