<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A sparkling picture book debut, brimming with adorable rabbits, in which the magician's assistant, a talented rabbit, reverses their roles so that the magician becomes a rabbit and the rabbit assistant gets to run the show.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A distinctive palette and a large cast of adorable rabbits adorn a lively story told in very few words. When a magic trick goes awry, the magician M. Lapin becomes a sad rabbit while his rabbit assistant, Houdini, becomes the star of the show. After trying increasingly spectacular tricks, Houdini realizes that someone else wants and deserves the spotlight, and in his most amazing trick ever, he restores M. Lapin to his former self.
