Rupert the rabbit is curious, furry, brown, and helpful, and it seems his lessons never end! With the help of human, animal, and fairy friends, he learns about reducing, reusing, and recycling, and how each of us has an important part to play in taking care of the world around us. A cloud of dragonflies, a singing frog, a lonely snail, a smart cat, and even a clever crow all have things to teach Rupert throughout his adventures in these four stories. Rupert's Tales are enhanced by 40 vivid pastel illustrations that create scenes sure to spark a sense of wonder at the beauty of nature. Lyrically enchanting, Rupert's adventures lovingly introduce children to the important task of fostering our natural environment. AUTHOR: Kyrja performs "Rupert's Tales and Tunes" workshops at local festivals, and celebrates many gatherings with other Friends of Rupert.
