He reaches in and gets chased away by bees. Later, Brer Bear and Fox fill a hole in the road with syrup to catch Brer Rabbit. He falls in and rolls around until he is covered with branches.

Notes To date, this is the only Disney book that I've seen refer to Brer Rabbit as "Jeannot Lapin". Typically in French his name is "Bibi Lapin". Jeannot Lapin is another well-known rabbit, so it's possible this was a mistranslated typo and was fixed in later editions.
Dimensions 6.75 x 9.5 (inches)
