1 References edit 'Caldecott Medal & Honor Books, 1938-Present'. The book was a recipient of a 1943 Caldecott Honor for its illustrations. The story is about the title character, a pet baby bunny named Marshmallow, and his new friend Oliver, a pet cat. It's just kind of a middle-of-the-road book. Marshmallow is a 1942 picture book by Clare Turlay Newberry. Apparently, the version I checked out from the library (the 2008 version) is the revised or adapted version, which makes me want to track down the original 1942 version because I want to know what changed. Marshmallow by Clare Turlay Newberry Oliver is a tabby cat who is always the center of attention. Marshmallow comes up to him, kisses him on the nose, and then snuggles up to him and Oliver starts licking him like a mother cat would to a kitten and the animals become friends. Then one day she's out, and Oliver is hungry and manages to open the door to the room Marshmallow is kept in. Marshmallow grows more used to the apartment and starts nibbling things, and Miss Tilly writes a poem about how bunnies nibble everything. Then Oliver starts trying to hunt the bunny, whose name is Marshmallow, so Miss Tilly puts Marshmallow in his own room when she's out for the day. Clare Turlay Newberrys lifelong passions for cats and for drawing come together in this elegantly illustrated book, winner of the 1943 Caldecott Honor. This is the true story of how Oliver and Marshmallow become friends. Miss Tilly is a poet, and writes poetry about how awesome rabbits are because they're quiet compared to cats. At first Oliver does not welcome Marshmallow, but the little bunnys charms are impossible to resist. There's a woman named Miss Tilly who owns a gray cat named Oliver and then gets a baby bunny as a new pet.
