My Friend Rabbit by: Eric Rohman is about a little rabbit that gets into trouble. His friend, the mouse, is telling the story from his point of view. Rabbit's trouble begins because he throws his toy airplane into a tree. Rabbit has an idea that only leads to more trouble. Once his airplane problem is solved, Rabbit only continues to cause trouble.
I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book. They are very colorful and allow readers to understand what is happening in the story. It is a great read for beginning readers as there are very few words. The illustrations do an amazing job of telling the story.
As I was reading this story, I had many ideas pop into my head as to how I could incorporate this book into my classroom. I could ask my studens to infer about what is happening on the text free pages by using the illustrations. It could also be used to make predictions about what will happen next. This book could also be used to teach sequencing. I could even have students write about how they would solve Rabbit's problem. It could also be used in the classroom to teach the message to be patient with others. Students can relate to this. They can see that although some people cause us trouble by the things that they do, they may actually mean well and to be patient with them. What a great message to pass along to young students and their teachers!

Ashley, I also went to the public library the other day and chose all of my books for the Reading Journal blog. What interests me so much is that we chose so many of the same books. I have already written about Olivia and My Friend Rabbit, and both send a wonderful message about patience by the way. Also, I also checked out Click Clack Moo Cows that Type. I can't wait to read it! Good job on your entries!
