Week 1 Reflection 2; The Rainbow Ribbon



Hooks, W.H. & Boegehold, B. (1991). The Rainbow ribbon. New York: Viking.

The Rainbow Ribbon is a children’s book about a family of bunnies and a ribbon.  I chose this book because I seen someone commenting on the impressiveness of the book.  This book deals with one of the bunnies stealing her sister’s ribbon and then being punished to the attic to be alone. Many children have experience this when they feel that they have been cheated as they often threaten that they want to run away.  The story reaches a climax when she actually does run away.  However, she is eventually faced with a decision of material objects and her family.  At this point, she realizes the importance of family and returns home with her new friend.  Younger children can often get into fights about material objects and can often threaten to run away.  This book identifies with these children and can help them to understand the significant of sharing and the importance of family.
