The gardener says the garden belongs to him. But the woodchuck insists that it's his. And so do the rabbit, the butterfly, the squash bug, and the bumblebee. Even the tiny seeds and whistling weeds think the garden just couldn't grow without them. As they stroll through the exquisite plants and flowers, Mrs. McGee and her child listen and wonder: Whose garden is it? Children's book luminaries Mary Ann Hoberman and Jane Dyer reveal the secrets of a glorious garden in this beautiful and poetic rhyming read-aloud.

From Booklist:
PreS-Gr. 1. Out for a stroll with a young child, silver-haired Mrs. McGee sees a glorious profusion of vegetables and flowers. Her question, &Whose garden is it?& launches this rhyming romp, which touches on the intricate relationships between animals and plants, sun, soil, and water. After a gardener proudly claims his plot, a rabbit steps forward, followed by other creatures that each claim garden ownership in a territorial battle that doesn't end with the animals: &I blossom in season / If this is a garden, then I am the reason,& says a plant. Even the rain and the sun state their importance. Each speaker is so convincing that in the end, Mrs. McGee repeats her initial question, confused as ever. Although the singsong bounciness of the rhymed couplets and a few images of overdressed animals may strike some as cloying, Hoberman's creative words and upbeat rhythms cheerfully introduce some basic players in the garden web of life, and Dyer's sunny watercolors of a magnificent garden are radiant and inviting.

Rabbit, Run is a 1960 novel by . The novel depicts three months in the life of a 26-year-old former high school basketball player named
who is trapped in a loveless marriage and a boring sales job, and his attempts to escape the constraints of his life. It spawned several sequels, including ,
and , as well as a related 2001 novella, . In these novels Updike takes a comical and retrospective look at the relentless questing life of Rabbit against the background of the major events of the latter half of the 20th century.
Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, formerly a high school basketball star, is now 26, and has a job selling a kitchen gadget named MagiPeeler. He is married to Janice, who was a salesgirl at the store where he once worked, and who is now pregnant. They live in Mount Judge, a suburb of Brewer, Pennsylvania, and have a two-year-old son named Nelson. Harry finds middle-class family life unsatisfying, and, on the spur of the moment, he leaves his family and drives south in an attempt to "escape". After getting lost, he returns to his home town, but not wanting to return to his family, he instead visits his old basketball coach, Marty Tothero.
That night, Harry has dinner with Tothero and two girls, one of whom, Ruth Leonard, is a part-time prostitute. Harry and Ruth begin a two-month affair and he soon moves into her apartment. During this time, Janice moves back into her parents' house and the local
priest, Jack Eccles, befriends Harry in a futile attempt to get him to reconcile with his wife. Nonetheless, Harry remains with Ruth until the night he learns that she had a fling with his high school nemesis, Ronnie Harrison. Enraged, Harry coerces Ruth into performing fellatio on him. The same night, Harry learns that Janice is in labor, and he leaves Ruth to visit his wife at the hospital.
Reunited with Janice, Harry returns home with her and their daughter, named Rebecca June. Harry attends church one morning and, after walking the minister's wife Lucy home, interprets her invitation to come in for a coffee as a sexual advance. When he declines the invitation for coffee, stating that he has a wife, she angrily slams the door on him. Harry returns to his apartment, and, happy about the birth of his daughter, tries to reconcile with Janice. He encourages her to have a whiskey, then, misreading her mood, pressures her to have sex despite her postnatal condition. When she refuses and accuses him of treating her like a prostitute, Harry masturbates onto her and then leaves in an attempt to resume his relationship with Ruth. Finding her apartment empty, he spends the night at a hotel.
The next morning, still distraught at Harry's treatment of her, Janice gets drunk and accidentally drowns Rebecca June in the bath tub. The other main characters in the book except Harry soon learn of the accident and gather at Janice's parents' home. Later in the day, unaware of what has happened, Harry calls Reverend Eccles to see how his return home would be received. Reverend Eccles shares the news of his daughter's death, and Harry returns home. Tothero later visits Harry and suggests that the thing he is looking for probably does not exist. At Rebecca June's funeral, Harry's internal and external conflicts result in a sudden proclamation of his innocence in the baby's death. He then runs from the graveyard, pursued by Jack Eccles, until he becomes lost.
Harry returns to Ruth and learns that she is pregnant by him. Though Harry is relieved to discover she has not had an abortion, he is unwilling to divorce Janice. Harry abandons Ruth, still missing the feeling he has attempted to grasp during the his fate is uncertain as the novel concludes.
Harry Angstrom – a.k.a. Rabbit, a 26-year-old man. Married to Janice Angstrom. He was a basketball star in high school and begins the novel as a kitchen gadget salesman.
Miriam Angstrom – a.k.a. Mim, Rabbit's 19-year-old sister.
Mr. Angstrom – Rabbit's father.
Mrs. Angstrom – Rabbit's mother.
Janice Angstrom – Rabbit's wife.
Nelson Angstrom – Harry and Janice's 2-year-old son.
Rebecca June Angstrom – Harry and Janice's infant daughter.
Mr. Springer – Janice's father. A used car dealer.
Mrs. Springer – Janice's mother. She is harshly critical of Harry when he leaves Janice.
Jack Eccles – a young
priest. He tries to mend Harry and Janice's broken marriage.
Lucy Eccles – Jack Eccles's wife. She blames the lack of love in her marriage with Jack on his job taking up too much of his time.
Fritz Kruppenbach – the Angstroms'
minister. He tells Jack Eccles that Harry and Janice are best left to themselves.
Ruth Leonard – Rabbit's mistress with whom he lives for three months. She is a former prostitute and lives alone in an apartment for two people. She is weight-conscious.
Margaret Kosko – a friend of Ruth's. Probably also a prostitute. She is contemptuous of Tothero.
Mrs. Smith – a widow whose garden Rabbit looks after while away from his wife. She is 73 years old.
Marty Tothero – Rabbit's former basketball coach. He was popular in high school but got dismissed from his job due to a 'scandal'. He cheats on his wife but gives marital advice to Harry. After suffering two strokes, he becomes disabled.
Ronnie Harrison – One of Rabbit's former basketball team-mates. He has slept with Margaret Kosko and Ruth Leonard.
A rabbit is "a person likened to a rabbit, typically in being
a poor or novice player" and "a runner who intentionally sets a fast pace for a teammate during a long-distance race".
Besides its other associations, Updike may have chosen the name Rabbit for his character for its echo of 's , whose main theme "focuses on the power of conformity, and the vacuity of middle-class American life". This is unlikely, however, as Updike claims not to have read Lewis's novel until after he wrote .
Updike said in interviews that the name Angstrom was inspired by his reading of
and meant to suggest 'stream of '.
My subject is the American Protestant small-town middle class. I like middles. It is in middles that extremes clash, where ambiguity restlessly rules.
Updike said that when he looked around in 1959 he saw a number of scared dodgy men who could not make commitments, men who peaked in high school and existed in a downward spiral. Their idea of happiness was to be young. Thus Rabbit, Run was born. In 1959 America the
period was coming to an end, and Updike inherited the cultural legacy of Modernism. With this legacy, that lacks spiritual vitality and potent erotic traditions, Rabbit has no vocabulary to give voice to his sexual and spiritual conundrums and feelings. In the novel the norms of Modernism are being replaced with those of a new era with a desiccated view of spirituality and a revaluation of eroticism, things previously held constant and in some cases repressed in traditional American thought. Updike creates a character that is neither an intellectual nor a poet, but simply is an average middle class man who is overwhelmed by the shifting world around him. Unable to cope with feelings he cannot accurately express and dissatisfied with religion and the moral value structure presented to him, Rabbit chooses flight.
The title matches the popular World War II-era song "".
Updike said, "About sex in general, by all means let's have it in fiction, as detailed as needs be, but real, real in its social and psychological connections. Let's take coitus out of the closet and off the altar and put it on the continuum of human behavior." Rabbit has an animalistic obsession with sex rather than a romanticized vision. He uses superficial criteria to pick his partners. He is taken with Ruth because she "feels right" as long as she doesn't use a "flying saucer" (a diaphragm), and even compels her to fellate him during a particularly intense bout of physical desire. He seems to use intense sex to replace what is missing from his work and life at home. His sexual prowess also supplies him with the sense of identity that his basketball playing gave him.
For Updike, the particular etiology of Rabbit's sickness can be perceived as his distance from God, illustrated by his cavalier conversations with Eccles. The existing framework of religion and ethics should support his devotion to his marriage, job, and life, but he finds it utterly unsatisfactory. Rabbit is clearly a sinner and in some ways he is aware of that, but he still quests for some kind of religious meaning in his life, “Well I don’t know all this about theology, but I’ll tell you. I do feel, I guess that somewhere behind all this… there’s something that wants me to find it!”
Rabbit faces a deep-seated psychological identity crisis throughout the book. This is due somewhat to his affectionless relationship with his mother, which has at the very least given him cause to imagine matricidal and suicidal acts. Rabbit hungers for something more than what he has, for a return to the golden era of his youth, for the sexual comfort of his relationship with Janice, and for a worldview that fits his tumultuous emotions.
Rabbit, Run is set against the background of the America of the fifties. The , apart from offering tremendous consumerist possibilities, urged Americans to renegotiate themselves to the postwar reality. The cultural atmosphere of the 1950s, charged by the politics of the Cold War, thus necessitated the phenomena of self-definition at all levels and in all areas of life. Alive to the mood of inner-directedness, Updike’s Rabbit considers himself “as a person in the process of becoming”. This involves his rejection of certain traditional aspects of American life in search of a satisfactory place in the world that is never really found, as the book ends with his fate uncertain.
Rabbit is always running, searching and questing for meaning. But while at times he finds himself enthralled with people, like his relationship with Ruth, his conversations with Eccles, and his initial return to his family, in the end Rabbit is dissatisfied and takes flight. Transience appears to be implicit in the character.
Previously, Updike had written a short story entitled Ace In The Hole, and to a lesser extent a poem, Ex-Basketball Player, with similar themes to Rabbit Run.
In his senior year at Harvard, Updike submitted to his writing instructor "Flick," an early version of "Ace in the Hole." Updike later sent "Flick" to The New Yorker where it was rejected.
Updike said that he wrote Rabbit, Run in response to 's , and tried to depict "what happens when a young American family man goes on the road – the people left behind get hurt."
The 2002 American drama film
draws on Rabbit, Run. Its screenplay, by , opens with a quote from the novel: "If you have the guts to be yourself...other people'll pay your price." The protagonist, played by the rapper , is nicknamed B-Rabbit. The
features a song titled .
Rabbit, Run established Updike as one of the major American novelists of his generation. In the
he was praised for his “artful and supple” style in his “tender and discerning study of the desperate and the hungering in our midst.” American novelist
has written that Updike is “a master, like , of mesmerizing us with his narrative voice even as he might repel us with the vanities of human desire his scalpel exposes.” British novelist Martin Amis has seen the hand of a master in Rabbit at Rest, marveling, “This novel is enduringly eloquent about weariness, age and disgust, in a prose that is always fresh, nubile, and unwitherable.”
Updike himself said Rabbit, Run was the novel most people associate him with, even though other novels in the series won .
The text of the novel went through several rewrites. Knopf originally required Updike to cut some "sexually explicit passages," but he restored and rewrote the book for the 1963 Penguin edition and again for the 1995 Everyman's omnibus edition.
Though it had been done earlier, as in 's
and ' , Updike's novel is noted as being one of several well regarded, early uses of the present tense. Updike stated:
In Rabbit, Run, I liked writing in the present tense. You can move between minds, between thoughts and objects and events with a curious ease not available to the past tense. I don't know if it is clear to the reader as it is to the person writing, but there are kinds of poetry, kinds of music you can strike off in the present tense.
magazine included the novel in its "Time 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005".
The philosopher
makes extended reference to the Rabbit novels in his paper "The Self as a Center of Narrative Gravity".
In 1970, the novel was made into a

as Rabbit,

as Marty. The script was adapted from the novel by , who also served as the film' the poster reads: "3 months ago Rabbit Angstrom ran out to buy his wife cigarettes. He hasn't come home yet."
