JOE RABBIT
i HAVE A BLACK AND WHITE RABBIT,
OVER EATING IS HIS BAD HABIT.
HE'LL EAT ALL DAY AND NIGHT,
UNTIL ALL FOOD IS OUT OF SIGHT.
HE CAN RUN AROUND AND AROUND,
HARDLY MAKING A SOUND.
HE IS MOSTLY BLACK WITH A WHITE TOE,
MY FATHER NAMED HIM JOE.
HE RUNS AROUND WITH A HELMET ON HIS HEAD,
GETS TIRED, LIES DOWN AND PRETENDS TO BE DEAD.
HE IS UP FOR THE NEXT MEALTIME,
CLEANS HIS PLATE BEFORE I DO MINE.
WHEN HE IS IN THE SUN, HE BLINKS,
HE CAN JUMP BUT CAN'T CLIMB,
HE HAS A SMALL TAIL ON HIS BEHIND.
AND FROM THAT LITTLE TAIL,
HE LEAVES BEHIND A TRAIL.
MAMA RABBIT WAS ALL WHITE,
SHE HAD A BIG APPETITE.
ONE DAY SHE SAT DOWN WHEN DAY WAS DONE,
SHE WAS TIRED, BECAUSE SHE HAD SIX YOUNG ONES.
THE NEXT DAY THEY WENT ON VACATION TO INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA,
TO SEE MY GRANDSON, ZACHARY AND GRANDMA ANNA.

About the Book
This book was written to inspire children to read about fun things. Also it was written to encourage them to read and enjoy the good things in life. It was poetically written with humor and yet it is educational. It is the author’s desire that this will be a book that teachers will find educational and useful in the classroom. It is definitely written for any elementary student level of understanding. The poetic stories have created images that after reading or hearing the words an elementary student would be able to create their own pictures and experiences. Zach’s Grandpa Frank didn’t get to complete his children’s book and Zach’s Grandma Aliceanne finished the book and hopes it will be worthwhile in the classroom and a fun reading for the students.
