When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit needs a better title, because I too was disappointed at the failure of the pink rabbit to get more than a passing mention. But as a book, it's one of my all-time favorites. It reminds me of the Little House books: the family is going through stressful times, but the book is about how everything is all right as long as the family's together, and day-to-day challenges of adapting to life as refugees have a downright cozy vibe. (Less food than the Little House books, though. What it *really* reminds me of is Letters from Rifka, which is also one of my favorites.)
I read the Pink Rabbit sequels as an adult and was disappointed. I remember them being more about the stress and family dysfunction. You can see the parents sheltering the kids from the Holocaust in the first book; in subsequent books, it's more about the kids, now grown up, having to deal with their parents' psychological issues while trying to live their own lives. Not nearly as much fun for me. YMMV.
