Shadrach


by Meindert DeJong

Lexile: 710
Subjects: childhood, friendship

This is a wonderful book about a Dutch boy's anticipation of Shadrach, his black rabbit, and his experiences with the rabbit when he finally arrives. DeJong captures the innocence and questioning of childhood in phrases with which children deeply resonate.

My son read this book first at age 4; there are no frightening topics.
