The Rabbits' Wedding

I absolutely loved this book. It was so cute! It is about two rabbits, and one is worried that they wont be together for ever, so they get married. Although it was banned at a certain point, it is one of my favorites to this day, and I honestly don't understand why they could ban a book like this.
