Didn't really get this book, I don't think the plot takes the reader anywhere

Solomon, a young rabbit, discovers he can change into a rusty nail just by scratching his nose and wiggling his toes at the same time.
When he's kidnapped by a hungry cat, Solomon transforms himself, but to no avail, because the cat knows it's a trick and imprisons poor Solomon.
