The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of sharing or has started using 'might makes right' logic to get what they want. It is a sharp, short cautionary tale about a rude rabbit who steals a carrot from a polite rabbit and faces an immediate, humbling consequence. Beatrix Potter uses this simple interaction to demonstrate that being a 'fierce bad' person leads to a loss of status and respect. Parents of toddlers and preschoolers will appreciate the clear moral boundaries and the vintage charm that makes a lesson on manners feel like a classic adventure. It is an ideal choice for opening a dialogue about why we treat others with kindness even when we think we can get away with being pushy.
