'Rabbit': stories for children.
Stories about Rabbit are for children who ask questions, and for parents who want children to ask even more questions. For those who want to achieve more, like Rabbit.
At the end of July 2022, work on the first part of the stories for children (and their parents) about Rabbit—‘Rabbit’ was completed! The first part includes ten stories.
Stories about Rabbit and a little girl Lizzie are short stories that parents can read to children or for children who can already read the stories themselves.
Lizzie, Rabbit and his team of minions—Australian kangaroo-girl, Lion cub and Fujik—learn something interesting, new and, hopefully, useful from each story. Something not only for fun, but serving as another brick in making a little person’s personality as well.
There are some funny jokes for young readers in the stories too. It is possible that parents would not be bored either and would find situations in which Rabbit and his friends happen to get themselves in funny. Adventures of Rabbit and his friends: some new knowledge from completely different areas of life, for example, some concepts that a child can learn from each story, as well as mentoring and personal experience that Rabbit is ready to share with his little protégé Lizzie—simple and funny stories about the wonderful world of a little girl who is getting to know it step by step.

'Kangaroo is the biggest of all, taken into care by Lizzie. She is brown, with a black nose and black eyes on her muzzle. Very soft. Lizzie loved to cuddle with her more than with anyone else in the household. Kangaroo used to live in Australia. Australia is such a big continent and a country in the southern hemisphere of the Earth. Australia is big—the sixth largest country in the world. There are a lot of different animals in Australia.'

'Fujik looks out to the right of the kangaroo. She looks like an inflated hamster. If you take a hamster and inflate it—of course, just pretending, otherwise it will hurt—that’s Fujik: a small, round, inflated hamster with three black spots on the chest on a light gray body. Fujik is so round that her paws are almost invisible. They are barely noticeable, unless you hold her in your hands and lift her up. Fujik's ears are very nice—they are neatly perched on top of the head.'
'On the bed next to the Australian kangaroo-girl, the largest and the strongest, a Lion Cub settled down. He is the smallest of the four, quite a baby yet. But he already has a shaggy red mane, like any serious lion.'

'There was a plush rabbit in the box. The very short white fur on his body seemed to have fallen off a little, reminding that of a little lamb. The rabbit was not fluffy and smooth at all. A light blue jumpsuit with straps was clearly the wrong size for the rabbit, and his paws stuck out of wide pants, like little wooly white sticks. The rabbit's legs, as befits a real representative of the hares family, were very well developed—his feet, slightly disproportionately large, clearly indicated that the rabbit was confidently standing on his feet. Only he didn't have shoes at all.
‘Mum, look, how cute he is! And the velvety ears he has as well,’ Lizzie was striking the rabbit's ears. One ear stuck up, and the other, covering half of the little face, hung down. ‘I've always wanted this!’ She carefully took the rabbit out of the box and hugged him tightly.'
'The eldest of the four is Rabbit. Although he recently joined Lizzie's team, he has already managed to gain authority among her wards.'

I do hope that children will not only love discovering a bit more about the amazing world of our planet, but will take some interest in getting acquainted (not even close— it’s just the first part) with the world of Rabbit, the world which is somewhat resembling ours, the one of grown-ups.

‘Mum, look, how cute he is! And the velvety ears he has as well,’ Lizzie was striking the rabbit's ears. One ear stuck up, and the other, covering half of the little face, hung down. ‘I've always wanted this!’ She carefully took the rabbit out of the box and hugged him tightly. There was a small postcard sitting at the bottom of the box.
‘Lizzie, there's a postcard from your aunt for you,’ Mum said.
Holding the rabbit with her hand, Lizzie picked up a postcard and started reading:
Hi, Lizzie! Happy birthday to you, dear! We love you! Paola and Oleg.
‘Mum, there are some signs here as well. Look,’ she handed Mum a postcard.
‘PS. It means postscript, Lizzie. That is what your aunt wanted to tell you additionally after she wrote a birthday greeting.’
‘I understand, Mummy: PS is something extra.’
‘Look what Auntie wrote there, Lizzie.’
‘The rabbit is not that simple, Lizzie… What does it mean, Mum?’
‘I’ve no idea. But I think you'll figure it out on your own.’
‘I will definitely figure it out, Mum!’ Lizzie grabbed the rabbit and ran out to her room.
‘Lizzie, there's a postcard from your aunt for you,’ Mum said.

‘Not a chance!’
Lizzie stopped reading the book in mid-sentence, turned her head to the bed where everyone was sitting—Australian kangaroo-girl, Lion cub and Fujik, Rabbit:
‘Who is this?’
‘Not a chance, any self-respecting rabbit would ever clean a barn, feed pigs and cows... Ha-ha-ha! It wasn't a rabbit, probably it was a guinea pig!’
Lizzie stared at the rabbit with her mouth open and her eyes wide.
‘I'm telling you,’ Rabbit continued, ‘there’ll never be such a thing as rabbits! Rabbits!’ he raised his paw-hand up, ‘serving people in a pigsty. Maybe this one… rabbit would have hired someone to help grandma cope with a management crisis, but he definitely wouldn't have lifted the paw himself. I'm telling you that! Rabbit!’

‘Yes, I do know, what a logo is,’ Rabbit waved his paw. ‘And you'd better tell me, is Dad's position bossy?’ Rabbit took a few steps towards Lizzie and sat down next to her.
‘Rabbit, I have to ask Dad what his position is. I do not know about this. But Dad always says it doesn't really matter what you do. It’s important that you like your work and you do it well, from the bottom of your heart. That's it, Rabbit. Dad says he really likes his job. You see, they’ve given him this cap too—it means that he is respected at work, his authority is recognized.’
‘That's right,’ Rabbit replied thoughtfully. ‘This is, of course, important. Well, okay. We'll count on your dad getting a big, very big bonus. You and me, Lizzie, we need to provide for everyone. Look at the household,’ the rabbit pointed with his paw at the animals perched near the pillow. ‘And I'll give a thought on how I can help your dad on my part. Maybe I'll intercede for him. There at my place,’ Rabbit raised his paw-hand up.
