Nieman has written a delightful children's story about magic, wonder, and respect for all lives. The story begins on the twentieth of May when a young girl named Amy sees a rabbit dressed like a magician hopping down the road. The rabbit introduces herself as Miss Rabbitini and allows Amy to participate in some of her tricks with the magic words "abba-dabba, oogie-woogie, fiddle fay." Not meaning any harm, Amy points out that rabbits should be the ones in the hat, not the ones doing the tricks. Miss Rabbitini then tells her tale of how she was a magician's rabbit, but it was a miserable life. Eventually, she got the courage to leave and venture off to become a magician herself. Inspired by the story, Amy witnesses Miss Rabbitini perform more of her act before they have to part ways. Ultimately, Amy learns a valuable lesson about respecting everyone, even animals, and that you can become anything you set your mind to.
This joyful children's book will bring smiles and laughter to every age. Accompanied by colorful illustrations, this tale about a rabbit magician will delight parents and children alike. Within the narrative are hidden multiple life lessons that parents will enjoy discussing with their children.
