Little Sister Rabbit

This children's book is a great find. It deals with responsibility,and getting along with siblings as big brother rabbit must take care of little sister rabbit while the parents are out picking carrots. Big brother rabbit must convince sister to eat her dinner, figure out how to diaper a squirming little rabbit and even outwit a pack of foxes. One panel does deal with death; when the pair happens upon a dead mouse, but this could be a starting point for a dialog with children about what death is. I liked that it showed that young kids can have a level of responsibility. It also gives children a way to put themselves in their parent's shoes by watching how brither rabbit must make decisions for he and his sister.The drawings are delightful and are great for kids who can't read.
