Caldecott Winner My Friend Rabbit

Rohman, E. (2002). My Friend Rabbit. Brookfield, CT: Roaring Brook Press.

(1). What did you like or dislike about the book?
I liked that this story was fun and clever. Rabbit was a cute character that got himself into trouble. I liked that his plans didn’t exactly work as planned but he was able to get what he needed.

(2). What in your life may have influenced your reaction or response to this book?
I think just the enjoyment of reading fun children’s stories helped me enjoy reading this story.

(3). How would you compare this book to another book or books, or book or books by same author? I would compare this book to The Tale of Peter Rabbit. They are both about rabbits getting themselves in some interesting situations because they have ideas and are curious.

(4). What new thing (information or insight) did you learn about children's literature in reading this book?
I learned that great stories can be written about characters who are not perfect and who have a different way of thinking. They can also just be written to make you laugh.
