It was a bit long, so sometimes we had to read it over two nights of bedtime stories. It is one of the most memorable books from my childhood. Until I read this, I didn't think about the connection my Mom likely felt to the Mama bunny, though I do remember her stopping toLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330572737400217122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-82819008777593162952016-04-11T01:41:22.375-04:002016-04-11T01:41:22.375-04:00Sounds great, and you have some really interesting...Sounds great, and you have some really interesting view points about chores. I honestly never thought of it that way (I'm usually all for creative ideas to get kids to do stuff--- even though, to be clear, I don't have kids yet lol), but I think you make a great point about work being a part of life.

And moms teaching their kids to work because work is just a part of life--yep, I grew up with that, too.
