Welcome to Litsy!

Sometimes hugs say more than words… “The Rabbit Listened” by Cori Doerrfeld is such a great MF book that teaches students about empathy in a moving story. I used this NY Times Best Seller for my S and I‘m excited to use it in my future classroom! It‘s about a boy named Taylor who doesn‘t know who to turn to when something terrible happens. However, someone appears, and it‘s all that Taylor needs… can you guess who it might be? #ucflae3414su20

#MayMovieMagic Day 17: When you are #HookedOnAFeeling, sometimes you just need someone to listen. Fats‘ review: “With scarce text and tender, soft colored illustrations, The Rabbit Listened is a beautiful picturebook about empathy. Cori Doerrfeld was inspired to write this story after several of her friends went through difficult times.” Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-j8S

“But it moved closer and closer. Until Taylor could feel it‘s warm body”

I love how the the background is always white but it is easy to understand their surrounding without an insanely detailed background. The illustrations are very light and sweet.

This books used onomatopoeia regarding animals and characterized them very well. This is a sweet story of a child who can seem to get along with any animals except a nice little rabbit. The way the text was placed on the pages with images added to the book in my opinion.

Good for nap time, shhhh.

This quote is so important because it emphasizes, at least for me, that it is essential to have someone in your life who just listens!

“Through it all, the rabbit never left”

“Through it all, the rabbit never left.”

Poetry. I would definitely use this in a classroom. It shows that sometimes you don‘t need or want someone to suggest ways to make it better, you just want someone to listen while you work it out. It‘s an important lesson for others who want to help and for those who need someone to hear them. It‘s cute and fun and relatable and perfect for children.

I really enjoyed this poem and would read it to my class. It teaches kids it‘s ok to listen and express your feelings.

I enjoy this story because it teaches concepts of friendship through simple yet beautiful way. It teaches children to never give up and stick to their desires.

“Through it all, the rabbit never left.”

I love how the child can imagine their next creation and be so excited for it!! It shows that if you try again, great things can come of it!

The rabbit listened, by Cori Doerrfeld, was published in 2018. This poem is about a little child named Taylor that had created an amazing structure out of blocks and it fell down. Once the structure fell Taylor wanted to be alone but many different animals came to try and cheer him up. He didn‘t want to forget about it and do something else. A rabbit came along and listened to him rant. There is repetition in this poem and little rhyme.

The illustrations were also repetitive but different because each time it was a new animal.

The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld, 2018. This is a cute poem about how sometimes you just need someone to listen. The use of repetition, onomatopoeia, and imagination make the story a sweet and fun read. It‘s a free form poem so it has no rhyme scheme, but despite that it flows beautifully.

This story was published in 2018. It is a poem about friendship that is depicted through imagination and repetition. The story used animals as the friends of the boy which opens a door for children to use their creativity while reading.

Published in 2018, this poetry book uses the element of repetition and focuses on imagination in a sense of Taylor creating a block structure from his own creativity. It is a relatable story for young children because many children know what‘s its like to create something and have it be knocked down and so this sheds light on perseverance and trying again!

The Rabbit Listened is a poetry story written by Cori Doerrfeld in 2018. This form of poetry used a lot of repetition. The story used a lot of imagination that could help the child see things in a new way through animals. I found this book to be very cute and relatable to children.

This is a book about a boy who didn‘t want to talk to the other animals but since the rabbit just sat by him he talked to the rabbit.

“Through it all, the rabbit never left”

Great story with a theme about friendship and being a good friend by listening and being there

“Through it all, the rabbit never left.”

2018, poetry. Cute story with a theme of being there for your friends. Shows kids how sometimes all you have to do is listen and be there and that‘s enough to help a friend out. Words flow through the pages and same with the drawings.

These picture are very interesting. They are very plain but make the story easy to understand for young children

This book is really cute and the illustrations are adorable. The story is so sweet and is definitely a feel good story for kids.

this book teaches kids to just sit and listen. when your friend is upset don‘t go and try to talk to them. Go up to your friend and be and a person to just listen to them and comfort them.

"The Rabbit Listened" by Cori Doerfeld is a sweet, simple, fictional (F) story that has won the Charlotte Huck Award. "The Rabbit Listened" is a great applicant for shared reading (SR) because of its intriguing plot that keeps readers interested.
When something bad happens to Taylor, he is unsure of what he should do! Suddenly, all of the animals begin to pry into Taylor's business, but he does not want to open up and share his feelings.

You know who needs to read this book? Adults. A wonderful lesson on how to help someone who is grieving a loss. Just be there and let them lead. Helpful without being heavy-handed. Totally kid-friendly and accessible.

Can we talk about how much I love this book? Taylor (who is never gendered) builds a fantastic block structure, which gets knocked down. Animals offer solutions and ways to react, but it turns out what Taylor needs is someone to listen and give them space to process. A quiet book that still has enough plot for a good read aloud to a group. #storytime #emotions #kidlit #raisingreaders

A gentle reminder that silence is often golden. Instead of trying to fix things or offer solutions, little rabbit was just there for Taylor and it made all the diiference in the world.

Taylor builds something great but after it's destroyed the animals try to help make Taylor feel better by offering to yell or laugh together, but Taylor doesn‘t want to do any of those things. No one makes Taylor feel better until the rabbit comes along. This is a cute story for any student going through something and also helps other us learn that sometimes the best thing to do to make someone feel better is to just be there for them. #UCFLAE3414

Great book about what children need when they are frustrated. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have a feeling this will be an ahhhhhh book.
