When Papa doesn’t return from a nocturnal honey-gathering expedition, Cress holds out hope, but her mother assumes the worst. It’s a dangerous world for rabbits, after all. Mama moves what’s left of the Watercress family to the basement unit of the Broken Arms, a run-down apartment oak with a menacing owl landlord, a nosy mouse super, a rowdy family of squirrels, and a pair of songbirds who broadcast everyone’s business. Can a dead tree full of annoying neighbors, and no Papa, ever be \u003ci\u003ehome\u003c\/i\u003e? In the timeless spirit of E. B. White and \u003ci\u003eThe Wind in the Willows—\u003c\/i\u003eyet thoroughly of its time—this read-aloud and read-alone gem for animal lovers of all ages features an unforgettable cast that leaps off the page in glowing illustrations by David Litchfield.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46498400403614,"sku":"HPC-9781536232479","price":16.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781536232479.jpg?v=1770792729","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781536232479","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
