The House Rabbit Handbook is the best book out there for learning to live in harmony with your rabbit. It teaches you to bring your bunnys in from the cold and make them real members of the family. It's also better than most other rabbit books I've read in that it doesn't advocate breeding (check out your local humane society to see why) and gives you actual stories of actual people and the rabbits in their lives. Kids may not come with an instruction book, but rabbits sure do...this is it! The book was even the impetus for the creation of the House Rabbit Society, one of the most valuable sources of cutting edge rabbit information
