Bunny’s Lessons

by Harriet Zeifert

Summary: A stuffed rabbit learns much from Charlie, his constant companion, including the meaning of the words "loud," "ouch," and "messy," but also about saying you are sorry and knowing you are loved.

This is an excellent simple examination of common childhood emotions. This book can be used to help young children with behavioral issues gain a greater understanding of their own emotions, and the emotions others feel as a result of their behavior. If I still taught children with autism, I would share this with certain students who do not have a strong grasp on their emotions and others’ emotions in general.
