Little Rabbit and the Sea

My daughter is in a book club this summer and this is one of the books we checked out. Ninety percent of the time, the easy to read, large lettering, short sentences are on white pages and the illustration on the opposite page. I like this format because I can bend the book and get her to FOCUS on the WORDS and yet still let her see the pictures. Obviously, sometimes pictures, especially ones as greatly illustrated as in this book, can stray the attention of the child to them and the words aren't a concern. LITTLE RABBIT AND THE SEA is a delightful, imaginative story for early readers about a little rabbit who dreams about being a sailor every night and wishes to feel the wind in his ears. So this dreamer inquires about the sea to his grandmother, father, uncle, and finally to a seagull. Each informs him about his dream, the sea. The sea is: "Wild and quiet, a bit of both." says the grandmother. "Blue and wide, never ending." replies his father. "Dark and salty, like cider vinegar." answers the uncle. "The sea is too far," answers the Seagull when the rabbit asked him to take him to the sea. Oh, how the rabbit longed for the sea even more than before. So he kept dreaming... one day, he had another long-awaited visit from the seagull who had something to share...Read the book and find out the ending. It may not be as you think. Usually dreams/plans don't come true but they work out according to how much we work to achieve them. Follow your heart and go for your dreams! Dream your dream into reality. Never give up hope. Soar!
