Freckles the Rabbit by Jane Burton, 24p., 1988
A children's book but the photos will be enjoyed by readers of all ages. Shows the birth of 2 lop rabbits, Freckles and her sibling, how they grow from a few weeks old to several months and how finally Freckles has a litter of her own. The little lops are very cute. Also includes general rabbit information. Color photos. Unfortunately this book is out-of-print but may be available used.
