Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue in the Big Woods

At Camp Rest‑a‑While, nestled on the shore of Lake Wanda, Bunny Brown and his sister Sue spend their days exploring the big woods that surround their family’s temporary home. Their parents have set up two tents—one for sleeping, one for meals—so the children can enjoy the fresh air, the crackle of campfires, and the simple pleasures of life outdoors. Uncle Tad, the jovial former soldier, adds a dash of stories and laughter to each evening.

When a gentle voice calls from the tent doorway, the siblings pause their make‑believe game of soldiers and Indians, where Sue tends to Bunny’s pretend fever and arrow wound. Their mother’s patient smile and quiet humor turn the interruption into a little lesson about caring and imagination. With a promise of pie and milk once Bunny “recovers,” the children scramble back to their play, eager to see what the forest will offer next. Listeners will feel the rustle of leaves and the warm camaraderie of a summer spent in nature.
