Little Rabbit Foo Foo


Genre: Poetry
Title: Little Rabbit Foo Foo
Author: Michael Rosen
Illustrator: Arthur Robins
Awards: N/A
Age group: 3-6 years old

Summary: A fairy visits Little Rabbit Foo Foo because he is being mean to others. The fairy gives him three chances to change, but he does not listen. Therefore, she turns Little Rabbit Foo Foo into a goon. 

Evaluation: This would be a fun book to not only read but to sing chorally as a class. I would create some hand motions for the students to do as we read and sang the song. I think this book could be a good brain break especially if I incorporated some movements with the song. Also, I can use the book to teach students that we should be kind to others and the importance of listening when told to do something the first time.
