Highlights

A funny storybook gift for the friend who is always late: the chibi storybook-watercolor pocket watch rabbit, in a checked coat and waistcoat with his pocket watch and white gloves, says "Not late. My watch is just two days slow."

A funny, cute pocket watch rabbit gift for a book lover, a librarian, an English teacher, a rabbit lover or the friend who always shows up ten minutes late.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
In Lewis Carroll's 1865 storybook classic, illustrated by John Tenniel, a rabbit in a waistcoat hurries past checking his pocket watch and fretting that he will be late. Later, at the tea party, the Hatter's watch turns out to be two days wrong.
