Claire is having a bad day, but is transported to Bunny Planet, where she can experience a simply wonderful day instead.
Mother Tongue notes: This was a good lead into a discussion of the students’ worst and best days ever. They eagerly used expressive and descriptive language to tell their narratives.
This would pair excellently with “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Claire’s coping mechanism can be presented as a conscious decision that students could try on their own not so good days.

I really wasn't sure what to make of this book or how to explain it to my son. I think he was feeling pretty ambivalent about it too. At some level it's sort of cute and so are the illustrations, but at the same time it's a sad story, even bordering on "disturbing".
I'm still looking to see whether on repeated readings it will win us over ...

I was expecting a Rosemary Wells Bunny Book, but I did not expect a weird hard follow jaunt into SPACE?!?!? Neither of our copies have circulated in 5+ years but part of me wants to keep a copy because it's such an insane wacky nonsense acid trip. BUT logic is getting the better of me, and these books have lived long and fruitful lives so they're getting the axe.
RIP First Tomato (A Voyage to the Bunny Planet).
