The Tunnel Under the Turnip Field

Jack Bramble

A turnip field looks ordinary until the rabbits start thumping, and then the ground opens into tunnels no human has walked. Jack Bramble's adventure follows one brave child who follows them down, learning the nose-twitches and foot-drums that mean danger, friendship, or supper. Best for ages 6 to 9 who like animals with secrets and mild underground peril. Angus Ferrier reads with a warm burr that makes the rabbits sound wry and the dark tunnels feel cozy rather than frightening. Good for bedtime or car rides. About two and a half hours.
