Little Rabbit has never seen the sea. But all day long he thinks about it, and every night in his dreams he sails in his little boat with the wind in his ears.What is the sea like? he asks his father, and his grandmother, and his uncle. They all give him vivid yet different answers, which only makes Little Rabbit long to see for himself. But the sea is far away. Then one day, a kindly sea gull shows Little Rabbit the sea. And it turns out to be everything he's ever imagined -- and much, much more. Gavin Bishop's sweet, simple story celebrates youthful yearnings and dreams come true.
