Die Häschenschule

One of my favourite books when I was a child was "die Häschenschule" from Albert Sixtus which is a very cute book, that has been written in rhymes and has these beautiful pictures from illustrator Fritz Koch-Gotha . The book cover shows a rabbit named Fritz, who is in trouble with the school master, because he was pulling a classmate's ears during music class.

The book tells the story of two young rabbits as they go to their Rabbit School. Here they learn everything a good rabbit must know: which vegetables and plants are best, how to paint Easter eggs  and to run fast to escape from the dangerous red fox.

The book also shows a lot of silhouette pictures, like the one shown above, I copied them on coloured paper and used them last year to decorate white Easter eggs. Looks really nice!
