| Description |
This rabbit hand puppet has the typical characteristics of a Bil Baird creation. Baird typically took a realistic thing, in this case a rabbit, and made a puppet that looked like a caricature of that thing. Examples of this can be seen in the oversized round eyes of the rabbit, the thick black eyelashes, rosy cheeks and oversized ears. Other notable features of this rabbit include a blue synthetic fur body and a jaw that is hinged for movement. |
