The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings

I bought this book because it was my sister's favorite growing up and now she is about to become a grandmother for the first time and I want to surprise her with it. The book is in wonderful condition and the seller couldn't have been more personable. It was a real pleasure dealing with her. Thank goodness there are still people who value these kinds of children's books and who preserve them for us who grew up with them.

I think the message of this book is to be proud of who you are and not wish to be something you are not or wish to be someone else.

This was my favorite book when I was a child. It was fun to read and I had no idea that I was actually learning something. This book teaches children to appreciate what they have and to be cautious about what they wish they had. I definitely recommend sitting down and reading this book with a child.

I am a high school student and I remember my mom reading a lot to me when I was a child. This book, "The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings" is/was one of my all time favorites. The illustrations (in the edition that I own) are wonderful and I would recommend it to any parent. I will deffinately read it to my children someday. The reason I'm writing this is because I'm reading it for my drama class tomorrow. I'm sure everyone, even the high school students, will enjoy this book.

My aunt Theodora gave me this book in 1947. I am very glad to see that it has been reprinted. People need to be careful what they wish for in life. They may get it. People should be happy with their situation in life and quit wishing for something different. The little rabbit keeps wishing for things and wishing for things and finally he gets red wings. No one likes him as his new self and so he wishes himself back to his original condition. I am reading this book to a group of preschoolers today, (March 4) as part of NEA read to a child day. I can't wait to hear their reaction.
