Summary: This picture book relied on its illustrations to convey its message about friendship. It's about a rabbit and a mouse who are friends. The mouse always seems to get into some type of trouble with the rabbit is around. The rabbit always gets them out of trouble, but they find themselves back into some type of sticky situation. The mouse never gives up on their friendship, even though the rabbit sometimes makes bad decisions.
I would use this picture book to explain to students to distinguish between good and bad decisions. They can also gain an understanding of true friendship and see that even though people make mistakes, true friends are always there for each other. The book uses good illustrations to display the situations and students can distinguish what is happening in the story to understand between good and bad decisions.
