My Friend Rabbit is a picture book that relates the message of friendship. Friendships can happen between any two people and sometimes you may not even know why you are friends. In this story Rabbit is Mouse’s best friend and trouble always follows Rabbit. The toy airplane Rabbit and Mouse are playing with gets stuck in a tree. Rabbit gets the idea of staking the other animals on top of each other so they can reach the plane. Just when mouse reaches the plane, the stack of animals fall and they are not happy. This does not stop Mouse and Rabbit from being friends. The illustrations in this book play an important part because the author uses pictures instead of words to tell the story. In children’s literature pictures can be just as important as text and in some cases even more important. Usually the pictures are the reason young readers get hooked on a book before they ever look at the text. This is one of those books that can get you hooked on reading because of its illustrations.
