My Friend Rabbit is an excellent picture book by Eric Rohmann. It is the Caldecott winner from 2003. The illustrations are so important in this book because they tell the majority of the story. There are just a few words and the pictures are used to depict the rest of the events. The pictures in the story are colorful and detailed and very appealing for children.
I really enjoyed this story. Rabbit is a good friend and tries to do the right thing, but trouble always seems to follow him wherever he goes. I have had friends like this before and I have students who are like this now. They are good kids but they still always seem to be in trouble. I think that this is an excellent book for these students and the friends of these students. It allows them to see that they are not alone and that it is important to accept your friends for who they are.
Through reading this book I realized that the words are not always the most important part of a story. This is a great story for beginning readers that they may not get frustrated with. It is also a great way to encourage using your imagination. Overall, I would definitely recommend the book My Friend Rabbit.
