The Rabbit Listened by Cori Doerrfeld
When Taylor’s creation comes tumbling down, everyone has advice—but the rabbit simply listens. This gentle story invites little readers to explore feelings, kindness, and how we care for one another.
Read together at your own pace. There’s no meeting to attend—just a story to enjoy and a little imagination to share.
Try these questions with your little reader:
Look at the rabbit. What does it do to help Taylor?
How do you think Taylor feels when the blocks fall down? What helps you when you feel that way?
If you could build something with Taylor, what would you make?
Build, Draw & Listen
Build something together using blocks, cups, or small boxes. Then invite your little reader to draw their creation on the printable activity page.
Ask, “Tell me about what you made,” and give them time to share while you listen—just like the rabbit.
