Bunny day: Telling time from breakfast to bedtime

Cute little book for reading aloud to little ones and introducing them to the concept of time and how our days work. Even the endpapers are included in the story!  Funny and fun.  And I love that the parents are shown chillin' at the end of the day.  (A good reminder to kids that their mom and dad need down time too :).  You could also use it to begin a day.

This book takes you through the boy's thought processes as he goes on his first hunting trip.  You feel his anticipation, his excitement, you want his plans to work.  And then when he finally catches his prey, there's hesitation, fear, and finally, mercy.  He realizes that his pride in catching the rabbit is not as important as the rabbit's hunger.  He releases his catch and decides instead to feed it again the next day.  An excellent book to read to children to teach them to think of the possible consequences of the choices they make.  Lots of material for good discussion.
