I don’t know the title, but it’s about a Mom and Child (I think it was a daughter) bunnies who needed to move out of their home (I think because it was too small) they go looking for a new home and but nothing is quite right until they find the perfect one (my sister and I can’t agree on what the final home was, if it was a stump or a large mushroom). I think there’s a picture at the end of them hanging checkered curtains and sweeping the front stoop.
The book would’ve been published before 1987. It had beautiful detailed illustrations, with lots of oranges and browns (so I’m thinking 1970’s).
Any help would be great. My sister has been wanting to buy this book for her children, since it was one of her favorites, but not knowing anything other than the plot has made it impossible to find.
Thanks!

Aha…just found a comment on another website that the last picture is of the mother sweeping the inside of a hollow tree. 🙂
