DESCRIPTION:
That's why everybody calls him Flop Ear. He's an endearing little rabbit with one ear that simply refuses to stand up straight--the way every other rabbit's ears always stand up. But Flop Ear doesn't think so. He wants to be like everyone else. This charming story describes Flop Ear's humorous attempts to make his ear stand up straight. "Lop-ear Flop Ear!" they laugh at him. Full-color illustrations on every page of this charming book. Kids who read this story and smile over the pictures will think he's cute. Flop Ear is sad because he isn't the same as all the other rabbits. But at last he realizes that sometimes, it's just as good to be different. (Ages 3-6)
We ALL Have Differences! A Customer This book is one that my mother use to read to me when I was about 5 or 6 years old. Recently I chose to use this book in my Foundations of Exceptional Lives college class for a bibliothereapy report. This book displays Flop Ear as a rabbit who is different from all others and gets teased and picked on as a result of his uniqueness. In the end, the other rabbits see him as a rabbit and not just for his differences. This book is a good one to beginning teaching your children the important principle that eve. this book comes in many bilingual versions -- I have the English-Vietnamese version and was thrilled to discover it at a used book sale. I fell in love with the simple story of a bunny who was different, yet turned out to be very accepted by his peers. The illustrations are simple and superb. If you have bilingual children, I highly recommend this book even if not I'm sure the simple English version is great as well. Floppy is a great teacher for kids.
It takes some mature contemplation (and a trip to a wise doctor) to convince him that it's okay to be different. When they see that their lop-eared pal has stopped playing the victim, they suddenly want to be just like him, thus defeating the message that there's nothing wrong with being different. Flop-Ear the bunny, like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, has a problem. The ending, especially, is perplexing: Flop-Ear returns to his tormenting peers, who admit they've been bored without having him around (to tease, presumably). With this sweet gift set, young kids can cuddle up with an adorable stuffed bunny and read all about accepting differences. Guido Van Genechten's whim
