A family of noisy crows keeps everyone awake, until Wisher has a bright idea.
Nayuleska's thoughts
Awww! This story is super cute with the adorable illustrations of all the bunnies. There are good themes addressed in this story, especially that of conservation (and all it entails) and how fast rumours can circulate. The animals all care for each, and its with that trust they discover the truth of the trees being cut. The wisdom given by Wisher's mother at the end makes this a 10/10 read.
Suggested read
Do check out other books in The Railway Rabbits series, including Barley and the Duck Race.
