    "Oh, Little Bun Rabbit, so soft and so shy, 
Say, what do you see with your big, round eye?" 
"On Christmas we rabbits," says Bunny so shy, 
"Keep watch to see Santa go galloping by." 
This delightful story tells of the Little Bun Rabbit who is befriended by Dorothy, a little girl.  She knows the rhyme and asks the little rabbit about it.  Bun Rabbit tells her that indeed, he sees Santa every year as he drives by in his sleigh loaded with toys.  One year Santa stopped to talk with him and ask if he would come to his workshop at the North Pole so he could use him as model to make toy rabbits for little babies.  He agrees and this is his exciting adventure with Santa.  That is why so many stuffed bunny rabbits are made and given at Christmas to be loved by children everywhere.
