"

An analysis of the runaway rabbit;

Clemens painted two rabbits, one big and one small, which is both realistic and romantic. He is also very creative in the connection and processing of pictures. You see, when the little rabbit says, "If you come after me, I will become a small trout in the stream and swim far away."

Mother said, "If you become a trout in the stream, I will become a fisherman to catch you." There are two black-and-white pen drawings, and the next two pages are combined into one, which is a panoramic horizontal color spread. There is no dialogue, only a colorful imagination.

The rabbit turned into a fish in the river. Her mother was wearing black boots, holding a fish basket in one hand and throwing the fishing rod out in the other. Interestingly, a bright red carrot was tied to the hook. This kind of interlude not only pushes the story to a climax again and again, but also expands the children's imagination to infinite space.
