I love this 1939 story because it teaches kindness and hard work eventually pay off. What matters is the good in your heart.
The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes
Dubose Heyward (Author), Marjorie Flack (Illustrator)
A (single) mother rabbit with 21 little children teaches them to all work together and help. The little bunnies feel valued as they contribute to the family. They grow up to be sweet, cheerful, and polite. Thereby, the Country Bunny (mother rabbit) proves herself to Grandfather Bunny and becomes one of the Easter Bunnies.
This is a wonderful story with quite modern themes, and may help enlist the help of the little rabbits at your house. My daughter especially loved hearing this story each spring.
