Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An introverted rabbit throws a costume party for his friends but is overwhelmed by the noise
Rabbit doesn't like parties ... but he does like his friends. So he invites them to a costume party and works hard all week to get ready.
He rushes to and fro with oodles of things to prepare. He mows the lawn and weeds and rakes and waters the garden and scrubs and bakes. Finally, everything is ready, and Rabbit's friends arrive in their splendid costumes. The event is loud and lively with uproarious laughter and babbling conversation.
Rabbit is soon overwhelmed by the all the activity and noise, and he slips away to find some quiet. When his friends discover him, they decide to switch to gentler activities so that Rabbit can rejoin the party.
Narrated by a young girl, When Rabbit Was a Lionis a wonderful read-aloud with a warm, insightful Frog and Toad sensibility that highlights the importance of listening and communication , and encourages readers to accept themselves and others as they are.
"This story is narrated by a young girl, who tells the story of the week her Rabbit decided to throw a party. "But Rabbit" she says, "you don't like parties." "That's true," he says, "but I do like my friends." So, he invites them to a costume party, and works hard all week to get ready. As he rushes to-and-fro with oodles of preparations to make, the girl overhears her friend muttering to himself: "One thing at a time, Rabbit. One thing at a time." The event is loud and lively, as his friends party hearty in their splendid costumes. The dog is a frog, the bird, a ballerina, the cat, a crocodile, the pig, a pirate, the girl, a rabbit ... and the rabbit, a lion. Rabbit is soon overwhelmed by the all the activity and noise, and slips away to find some quiet. But when his understanding friends decide to party more softly, Rabbit rejoins the festivities, and a good time is had by all."-- Provided by publisher.
