The Rabbit Listened - Reading Comprehension Questions
by Cori Doerrfeld
About This Book
"The Rabbit Listened" by Cori Doerrfeld is such a sweet story about a little boy named Taylor who is having a tough time. When something sad happens, all sorts of animals come by, each suggesting their own way to handle things. But it’s the quiet rabbit who simply listens, and that’s what Taylor really needs. This book beautifully shows that sometimes, what kids need most is a listening ear rather than advice or solutions. It’s a gentle reminder for kids about the importance of feelings and the comfort of companionship. As parents, we can appreciate how it teaches empathy and patience. Kids will learn that it's okay to feel sad and that they can take their time to process their emotions. Plus, the illustrations are charming and engaging, making it a joy to read together. This book not only entertains but also opens the door for important conversations about feelings and support.
