Reading
1. Read It's Not Easy Being a Bunny (Beginner Books(R)) by Marily Sadler - This is a great story to help your childlearn to be thankful for what hy has and who he are. In the story P.J. Funnybunny was sad because he didn't like being a bunny. He had to eat cooked carrots every day, and he had too many brothers and sisters. He decided he didn't want to be a bunny any more. He tried being a bear, but living with the bears wasn't very exciting because they slept all winter long. He tried being a bird, a beaver, a pig, and a moose, but none of them worked out. At the end he decides what he really wants to be is a bunny, and it's not so bad being a bunny after all.
After reading this story help your child think of other animals that P.J. Funnybunny might have tried living with. Discuss what he would have liked about living with those animals and what he wouldn't have liked. Ask your child if he had a to be an animal, what animal would he be. What would he like about being that animal and what would he dislike.
