This is the last installment in the wonderful story written by Jill. I’ve put a link to the full story over on the sidebar.
Julie was busy. Making
jam, watching a little mouse playing in the garden, playing in the sea
with her children, jumping in the waves (but she often thought of
Little Cotton Rabbit and hoped she was happy!)Little Cotton Rabbit wasn’t happy.
She dried her little woolly tears and said "Pink shoes, dotty dress,
I’m a brave Little Cotton Rabbit knitted with love!" She tapped her
toes and twitched her nose (which as you know isn’t easy wrapped up in
crinkly paper and tied with ribbons)
A big woolly sneeze began in Little
Cotton Rabbit’s twitching nose. "Ah, aah, AAAH TISHOO!" Little Cotton
Rabbit’s parcel began to fall.
"Help!" she shouted through woolly sneezes and squished up nose. "Help!" she shouted through little woolly sobs and tears.
BUMP!
BANG! Little Cotton Rabbit’s parcel fell to the floor. "OOOOHH!"
whispered Little Cotton rabbit, who didn’t know what was happening.Doors
opened. Little Cotton Rabbit found herself flying through the air!
BUMP! Into a post van jumbled with boxes and parcels. Noisy engines
with smelly smoke made Little Cotton Rabbit cough a little woolly
cough.Little Cotton rabbit sighed a little woolly sigh. She snuggled into the crinkly paper, her eyes closed……
A big
basket full of giggling little cotton friends. A hug from Amy, sounds
of Toby playing in the garden. What a wonderful dream! Little Cotton
Rabbit smiled a special Little Cotton Rabbit smile. Dreams were
wonderful……………..The Post Van went along the street.
BUMP! BUMP! BANG! Doors opened. Little Cotton Rabbit slept on.
KNOCK! KNOCK! on a door.
"OH! LOOK! It’s the lost parcel!"
Little
Cotton Rabbit woke up. She was very excited! That was Julie’s voice!
Julie opened the parcel and untied the paper and ribbons. There sat
Little Cotton Rabbit with a very, very special Little Cotton Rabbit
smile. She was a bit squashed, but safe and sound after all!
Little Cotton Rabbit
tried to tell Julie all about being lost. Amy gave Little Cotton Rabbit
a big hug, Toby could be heard playing in the garden (which just goes
to show dreams do come true!)
Julie
took a picture of Little Cotton Rabbit. "Pink shoes, dotty dress, all
knitted with love" thought Little Cotton Rabbit, glad to be safe. Lots
of little cotton giggles came from a basket."Home" said Julie "no more adventures for you!"
Little Cotton Rabbit sighed a big woolly sigh. She smiled a special Little Cotton Rabbit smile. Adventure over! (For now!)
I hope that you’ve enjoyed the story as much as we have at our house. It’s a nice thought that it will be read around the world – it was just too good a story to keep all to ourselves! Thanks Jill x

I really enjoyed the story of the Little Cotton Rabbit, especially as you broke it down into instalments – it was like Jackanory all over again (and Jackanory was one of my very favourite TV programmes as a child). Thanks for sharing it with us.
