Book Description

4 and up
Rabbit goes wherever Kara goes—sometimes to Mama’s house, sometimes to Papa’s house. Now Papa is coming to pick up Kara and Rabbit and take them to his house. But this time things are different. Peggy, Papa’s new wife, lives there, too. She makes costumes for people who act in plays, and the house is full of her things.

When Kara and Rabbit try to lie on the couch where she and Papa snuggle to tell each other stories, they can’t—because it’s hidden under mountains of gloves. When they try to sit in the special chair Papa made for them, they can’t—because it’s covered in capes. It’s even hard to find a hiding place for hide-and-seek! How can Kara and Rabbit make sure there’s enough room for them?

The beloved characters from Missing Rabbit are back in a brand-new story that offers comfort to children and stepparents.


Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 2-In this delightful follow-up to Missing Rabbit (Clarion, 2002), Schotter again explores issues related to divorce and remarriage. Taking her favorite toy with her, Kara goes to visit with her father and his new wife. But Papa's house is now cluttered with Peggy's things, and the child worries that there's no longer room for her. After she tells her father that Rabbit thinks the house is too crowded, he and Peggy make more space for Kara and her stuffed animal. The story walks the line between narrative and bibliotherapy with relative ease, aided by Moore's warm, cartoonlike watercolors. Kara and her parents, biological and step, are portrayed as a loving family, and children will find this tale reassuring.

From Booklist

PreS-Gr. 2. Like the books in the Read-alike column "Mom's House, Dad's House" on the opposite page, this sequel to Missing Rabbit [BKL My 1 02] portrays a child's experience of divorce. When young Kara goes to Papa's house, she discovers that his new wife, Peggy, is taking all the space; Peggy is a costume designer, and her ties and capes, hats and scarves overflow from closets and furniture. During a game of hide-and-seek, Kara has trouble finding a place of her own, and through her adored stuffed rabbit, her alter ego, she speaks her mind: "It's too crowded here." Luckily, Papa and Peggy find ways to clear the clutter and make Kara feel part of their loving nest: "Plenty of room," Rabbit says. When Kara returns to Mama's house, it feels empty, but Mama reassures Kara that she has "so much love that it fills every corner of this house." As in Missing Rabbit, Schotter and Moore explore the complicated sadness of divorce within a story that's as reassuring and snug as a favorite blanket. Schotter's rhythmic, descriptive words include creative specifics that show the acceptance and love Kara enjoys--special games and cuddles that are beautifully captured in Moore's vibrant color pictures of Kara, snuggled safely in the cozy arms of all her parents. A good read-aloud for children who are struggling with their own feelings of displacement. Gillian Engberg

5.0 out of 5 stars My Four-Year-Old Gets It, August 17, 2004
This review is from: Room for Rabbit (Hardcover)
Well crafted gentle story about a young child going between home with Mom and home with Dad and "his Peggy" after her father's re-marriage. Will there be room for her beloved stuffed companion? Made my daughter think and process my own remarriage and her place in a step-family in a new way. Very helpful.
