Summary

This week's featured story comes from the Martin & Sylvia collection.

It's called "Babbit the Rabbit."

Babbit is Sylvia's very special stuffed rabbit. She talks to Babbit, she eats with Babbit, and she sleeps with Babbit. When she plays hide and seek with Babbit, Martin objects: Stuffed animals can't play games! But Momma and Daddy know better. With a little whispering in Martin's ear, Momma helps him see a whole new world of magic in his very own familiar back yard.
