Naughty tricksters?
Morality tutors? Easter candy suppliers? Pick any one or all three. Cute, fuzzy bunnies show up in all sorts of places: fields and meadows, farms, pet stores, taxidermy shops, butcher shops, Easter decorations, commercials, and as pets. These little mammals often provide companionship, food, clothing, and even creative inspiration all around the world. Don’t forget to look for them in the pages of your most treasured books, for they often play special roles in literature.
From your earliest days listening and to the coming years when you may choose or as your reading material, authors’ creative use of personification and anthropomorphism—giving human characteristics to non-human things—enhance these memorable stories. The rabbit’s meaningful role in beloved pieces of literature is undeniable.
