The Wrong-Way Rabbit (level 2) Reviews

I love these random level 2 books that we pick up. So my 5 yr old was picking only superheros, scooby-doo, and spongebob when I asked him to pick level 2 books to read. So now the rule is he has to pick some that aren't one's of characters he knows. It's working. He's loved every single one of them so far, and this was no exception. The wrong way rabbit, tibbar jack, is a little rabbit who likes to do everything backwards from saying good night to the morning sun, to putting his shoes on his ears. It drives his mother and teacher crazy, but makes for a great and entertaining story. It took us to the end to realize most of the prose was in rhyme (my son's reading isn't quite that smooth yet) and it came as even a greater surprise to us to find out how he got his name! We totally should have guessed, but neither of us noticed! It made for a great surprise ending. Two thumbs up on this one!

I would highly caution those who are reading this book that it is very upsetting for neurodiverse children. I know everyone's reading it as cute and funny because this rabbit is not "normal", but it's an ableist book that is setting "normal" as the right way of doing things, instead of being okay with people doing things differently.
It would be upsetting for some autistic children to read this at all. -
4.5, love the sing-song text and the silliness.

Ian liked it ... but I had all sorts of questions afterwords.....why does he wear clothes? Shouldn't he sleep during the day? How does he handle mealtimes? For a rabbit who does everything opposite there sure are a lot of loopholes here.
