My thoughts:
How the Bunny Learned to Fly is an adorable rhyming book that tells the story of a bunny and his best friend, a robin. Each of them wants to be able to do what the other can do. The bunny wants to fly. And, the robin wants to explore the world as the rabbit sees it. The robin gives the bunny his wings so that he can fly. And, the robin can see the world from the ground level.
As they each experience the world from the other’s viewpoint, they learn to appreciate their differences and empathize with how the other feels. They realize that each person’s life is not perfect and is more hard work than they were aware. The friends became closer because they understood each other’s struggles and appreciated the hard work each went through.
Not only is How the Bunny Learned to Fly an adorable rhyming book, but the author also uses words that will help your child grow their vocabulary. Instead of sticking with simple, single-syllable words, this book will introduce your child to new words that they may not already know. There is a handy word and phrase glossary in the back of the book. And there is a fun song to play and sing along to.
If you’re looking for a picture book that will help teach your child empathy and to appreciate people that are different from them, you’ll want to purchase a copy of this book.
This book has won two Dragonfly Book awards.
