How Jackrabbit Got His Very Long Ears
Book Review:
As the Great Spirit created the desert animals, he needed a helper
to take them to their habitat; therefore, he created Jackrabbit. After
awhile, Jackrabbit began to pay less attention to the Great Spirit,
and in the process, he hurt the feelings of some of his fellow creatures.
When the Great Spirit discovered that some of his animals were not happy,
he asked them why. They explain that Jackrabbit told them they were
not special, but the Great Spirit reassures them that each one of them
was created in a unique and special way. But, he realizes that a Jackrabbit
who does not hear well will not survive in the desert habitat; therefore,
he gives the Jackrabbit's very long ears.
The bright, large illustrations do a wonderful job of setting the scene
and creating the mood. This is a wonderful story to teach how something
misunderstood can be very hurtful. Also, the book teaches that each
of us is unique for a reason.
