Another 'coming to terms with death' story which just manages to stay the right side of sentimentality. The children, who live in an idealised countryside, find a little rabbit which is looked after by their old dog. When he dies they find, with a fortuitousness one can only envy, a little puppy for the rabbit to look after. It's a little pat to an adult view, but I must say my children enjoyed it... except for the child who said, 'What if the puppy belonged to someone? They've stoled it!'
