My Very Own Space

PreS-Gr 1—In a large rabbit family, it can be hard to find a quiet place. Little Rabbit just wants to be left alone to read his book, but there is so much noisy activity going on around him that he can't concentrate. He finally draws a large circle around himself and warns everyone else to keep out. After enjoying his book, Little Rabbit looks up and realizes that he is alone. He can smell something yummy and hear music and laughter, but, sadly, he is not a part of it. When Little Rabbit decides to share his space after all, the other rabbits drag, stretch, and reassemble the line that made up Little Rabbit's circle until everyone is a part of the space and having fun together again. Little Rabbit concludes that he needs a bit of space to himself from time to time. The rabbits are all different sizes and shapes with distinct personalities. Little Rabbit, wearing a red sweater, is easily recognizable, as is the younger sister who follows him everywhere and eventually gets him to open up his circle.
