Chapter 1 - Hop Hop Hop. Hop. “What was that?” asked Hannah. She was in the classroom. “I don’t know. The sound came from outside,” said Emma. Hop. Hop. “Yippee, yahoo,” yelled someone. “We better go out and see what is going on,” said Ethan. “Yes, we should,” said Ms. Smith.

The kids and Ms. Smith went out onto the playground. They looked around. There was Jacob, Dan and Beth. They were riding three giant rabbits. The rabbits looked like other rabbits. But they were ten feet tall. “What are you guys doing?” asked Josh. “We are riding Jacob’s rabbits,” said Dan. He had a big smile. 2

Chapter 2 - Giant Rabbits “Those rabbits are huge,” said Sarah. “I have never seen giant rabbits before,” said Ashley. “Jacob, don’t you just have small rabbits?” asked Willy. “I used to have small rabbits,” said Jacob. “Two weeks ago I took home the lucky buffalo nickel. I asked it to make me some special carrots. I fed these special carrots to my rabbits. My rabbits just grew and grew.”

Chapter 3 - Riding Rabbits “When did you start riding your rabbits?” asked Grace. “I started last week,” said Jacob. “Is it hard to ride a rabbit?” asked Sami. “Not too hard,” said Jacob. “Jacob called Dan and me. He asked us to come to his house this morning and go rabbit riding,” said Beth. “We knew it would be fun to ride them to school,” said Dan. 4

“I wish I could ride a rabbit,” said Matt. “Matt, you can ride this rabbit,” said Dan. Dan jumped off one of the giant rabbits. Matt got on. “Oh man, this is fun,” called out Matt as the giant rabbit hopped with him on its back. “Look at them go,” said Chris.

Matt rode around the whole playground in about a minute. When he got back, he got off the rabbit. He was happy and had a big smile on his face. “Everyone line up who wants to ride one of my rabbits,” said Jacob. All of the kids in Ms. Smith’s class got to ride on a giant rabbit. “That was one fun ride,” said Dave. “I love riding rabbits,” said Mike. “I think giant rabbits are so cool,” said Abby. 6

Ms. Smith went for a rabbit ride too. “Have you ever ridden a rabbit before, Ms. Smith?” asked Andy. “No, I never have,” said Ms. Smith. She looked very happy. “I am going to ask my mom if I can get some giant rabbits,” said Emily after her ride. “Thank you for sharing your rabbits, Jacob,” said Ms. Smith. “But it is time for them to go home now.”

Chapter 4 - Rabbits Go Home “Oh, okay,” said Jacob. “Can I use the lucky buffalo nickel?” “Sure you can,” said Ms. Smith. Olivia ran into the classroom. She got the nickel out of Ms. Smith’s desk. She came back and gave it to Jacob. Jacob held the nickel in his hand. “Rabbits go home, rabbits go home, rabbits go home,” said Jacob. Poof! The rabbits were gone. The students and their teacher went back into their classroom. It had been fun riding rabbits.
