Why Are You Fighting, Davy?
PreSchool-Grade 2-The two young rabbit friends return. As Eddie tries to build a dam, Davy makes a boat. They work side by side until the dam bursts and Davy's creation sails away beyond reach. The frustrated builders resort to ear pulling, and Davy blames his pal for the loss of his boat, informing him that, "You're not my friend anymore." At home he doesn't get much sympathy from Mother Rabbit, his toy bunny is boring, and his siblings have other plans, except for baby, and she's "just a baby." He walks back to the brook, tries his hand at dam building, and finds Eddie trying to build a boat. The relationship is mended as they ask one another for help. Young children will identify with this simple friendship story that provides a good lesson on working things out together. The soft, appealing, watercolor characters and the tranquil background setting blend to make this a beautiful story to share. Children will easily relate to Davy and his struggles, whether this is the first or the sixth time that they meet him.Melanie S.
