    The Rabbit Book was authored by Richard Sealy and only ran one edition.

    John and Richard were to have co-written the Rabbit book but John died in 1977 and the project became Richards.

    Illustrations in the both books were done by Peter Aschwanden.

    OK makes sense now why they are so similar.
