Redesign of my niece' artwork

The original work was made recently by my niece Nina. She tried to draw a rabbit, but she wasn’t satisfied with the result so she scribbled on the picture with a red pencil. I don’t consider this work failed, moreover I see in it a nice funny character. I hope my interpretation of this drawing will show Nina that even a “bad” work could be not such hopeless if you add a little bit more imagination :)
