The Rabbit's Escape
Fresh, distinctive artwork characterized by innovative perspectives and a unique and wonderful attention to detail enhance the telling of this delightful bilingual (Korean-English) tale. Rabbit is eager to travel to the underwater world of the East Sea. Luckily Rabbit is wily as well as curious, for he must use his wits to escape when the ailing underwater Dragon King demands Rabbit's liver, which, the King has been told, will cure him. An author's note provides information on the tale's origin, and the Korean language translation appears above the English on each page of text in a tale that follows Rabbit's debut last year in The Rabbit's Judgment (Henry Holt, 1994). ©1995 Cooperative Children's Book Center
