Practical advice for children who want to raise their own rabbits for pets, profit, or show. Includes information on housing, feeding, grooming, breeding, and more.Author Biography: Author of two Storey books, Nancy Searle is a Cooperative Extension Service Agent who has worked with 4-H programs for over ten years in Massachusetts, where she resides. She has written Your Rabbit and Your Goats. Nancy holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from the University of Massachusetts, and is a member of the American Rabbit Breeders Association. Nancy has received acclaim from School Library Journal's writer Eldon Younce: "A definitive guide for young readers, this is so thorough that even those experienced in raising rabbits would find it helpful. FFA members, 4-Hers, and pet owners will be pleased to find this title on the shelf."School Library JournalGr 5 Up-- A definitive guide for young readers, this is so thorough that even those experienced in raising rabbits would find it helpful. Like Simmons's Your Sheep (Garden Way, 1992), the main text covers the inner two-thirds of each page. A vertical line separates that from the outer remaining space; there, terms are defined, additional information appears, and important facts are repeated. Some of the black-and-white illustrations also appear here. The smoothly flowing, second-person narration covers such topics as selecting the breed, choosing the first rabbit, handling, housing, feeding, health, breeding, care of newborns, marketing, and management. Drawings, charts, and barely average black-and-white photos appear throughout. A ``helpful sources'' section offers several mail-order rabbitry suppliers and a complete listing of each state's Cooperative Extension Service. The volume concludes with an extensive glossary and index. FFA members, 4-Hers, and pet owners will be pleased to find this title on the shelf.-- Eldon Younce, Harper Elementary School, KS
