Bumper is a tiny, pure‑white rabbit who lives in the bustling backyard of an old woman with more rabbits than she can count. The house is always noisy with the chatter of rabbits big and small, yet Bumper feels nervous whenever the door opens and strangers appear. When the woman selects a few rabbits for the market, she scoops Bumper up in a basket, and the shy bunny experiences the bright, noisy world beyond his garden for the first time.
In the bustling city square, Bumper meets lively companions like Jimsy and Wheedles, who tease his worries and invite him to explore the crowd of people and other animals. Together they discover a hidden garden where carrots seem to glow with a hint of magic, sparking Bumper’s curiosity and courage. Their early adventures set the stage for more daring escapades, promising plenty of laughter, friendship, and gentle lessons for young listeners.
