ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Perhaps best known for her Newbery Award winning Miss Hickory, Carolyn Bailey is the author of many books and anthologies for children.

LOGANBERRY LEGACY
The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings may not be a best-seller, but perhaps a cult classic.  I remember it myself from earlier days; I think my third-grade class made a rather elaborate puppet show out of the story.  And the illustrations in the original by Dorothy Grider are fabulous!

I am desperately searching for a poster of The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings....my 7 month old son absolutely adores this book and video, and I want to obtain a poster for his room.....I am a novice at internet searches...any ideas or guidance would be deeply appreciated!

Please let me know anything that you find about The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings.  I am interested in possibly purchasing a copy, but I'd like to know the price ranges if you have several copies of it.  I have been thinking a lot about this story, and I think it would be fun to read it again.  Thank you for all your help.

My mother's favorite childhood story (she was born in Alabama, 1935, so it was in print then) was about a little black boy called Lil Hannibal, ran away from home, lost in woods, hoot owl says who, who are you.  That's all she can remember-Grandmother thinks it might have been in a book with other similar stories.  Sorry I can't provide more info--hope you can help!

The Little Rabbit who Wanted Red Wings:  What genre would you consider this book? Is it a fantasy or a folk tale?

twig body, nut (pecan?) head.  Miss ___?  This was a story about a "lady" whose body was a twig (with two arms, two legs) and she found a nut to serve as her head.  At the end of the book, she grafted herself onto a tree, and blossomed.

Before I signed off your site, I found my answer, but I am so delighted to hear of your site, I want to send you $2 anyway!

The Little Rabbit  Who Wanted Red Wings.  I recently came across this book in some things my mother  had given me years ago. Is there a demand for the book? Does it have any  value? I think it will be a wonderful book for the grandchildren I hope I will someday have. I plan to keep it, but am curious. It's a wonderful story!

Thought you might like to know that Dorothy Grider, illustrator of many children's books in the 50's and thereabouts, is alive and well in New Hope, PA. I sent her a copy of the message dealing with The Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings and she was thrilled and delighted to say the least. If you or any of those who love this sort of thing would like to correspond with her, the address is: Dorothy Grider, 96 N. Main St., New Hope, PA 18938.  Dorothy is now 85. Her wit and awareness would be remarkable for a person in their 30's. She showed me copies of the books she has illustrated. I believe she has many if not all. I am writing this message with her permission.

This story read by teacher in early grades of school.  Possibly short story in school reader. Granny kept Hannibal working so much he ran away from home but returned when he realized helping his granny was better than being out on his own. I remember the phrase about his granny keeping him "toting" things.
There's a Li'l Hannibal written by Carolyn Bailey in 1938. That's probably it. 
The Story Of Li'l Hannibal by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey can also be found in Up One Pair Of Stairs Of My Book House (My Book House v.3 / Olive Beaupre Miller, Book House For Children, 1956).

I saw your comment about Li'l Hannibal.  It was also one of my favorite books as I child.  I still have my book and it is in pretty good condition considering it's age. In fact pages are in excellent condition.  Was thinking about selling it to help with a family medical emgergency.  son-in-law waiting on liver transplant.  Will probably place it on Ebay, just didn't know what to ask for it.
