The Island Light: A Voyage to the Bunny Planet

The best part of the book is the opening quote from Galileo (which I hope is accurate but have been unable to confirm). The bunny story is extremely peculiar. My family in general has a high tolerance for weird, but this is pushing the envelope. The addition of awkward doggerel (..."Spins the gentle Bunny Planet, And the Bunny Queen is Janet") puts this story into the category of books even doting aunts refuse to read twice.
That being said, it no doubt merits one reading. Check it out from the library.

This is the story of a little bunny named Felix. He has a terrible day at school, then he goes home and the terrible day continues. Everything that could go wrong for him went wrong. Finally, as Felix gets into the bed, he drifts off to the bunny planet. In his dreams, he has the perfect day. He gets to live in a lighthouse with his dad and play all kinds of games. This makes Felix feel much better. This is a great story for young children and could easily be incorporated into a bibliotherapy lesson. There are many activities at http://www.teachervision.fen.com/childrens-book/activity/5240.html# that can be used when reading any of Rosemary Wells' books.

Felix gets sick in front of his classmates. His day continues to get worse. He has to get a burns his tongue, has to get a shot, takes a cold shower, and his parents forgot to tuck him in. It was a day that should have never happened. He needs to take a trip to the Bunny Planet. He closes his eyes ans is swept beyond the moons and stars. There he spends a perfect day with his father on the Bunny Planet. This book is great to discuss when things do not go as planned. http://www.rosemarywells.com/ is a good resource for parents and teachers.

Felix gets sick in art class and his day goes downhill from there. His parents are too busy to tuck him in to bed, so he needs to visit Bunny Planet who Queen Janet can make everything better with her love. This is a good story for younger children especially K - 1 because they still imagine a lot of things. It is a good book for group reading.
