Guys and
Galls, go ahead and put your listening ears on; it is storytime.The
book, Listen Buddy,
features a little brown rabbit named Buddy who is having problems
listening to instructions. Buddy is a nice little bunny and has
wonderful parents. Buddy's dad has a big nose and can sniff really
well. Buddy's mom has great big teeth and she loves to chop things.
Buddy has big giant ears which are great for listening, but he seldom
uses them.
Big ears, big ears, who needs them? Buddy surely does not think he needs his big floppy ears.When his mother asks him for a slice of bread, he brings her a slice of his bed. When Buddy is asked by his father to bring him a pen, Buddy brings him a hen. His parents try yelling, "Listen Buddy!" His parents also try whispering, "Listen Buddy." Buddy ignores his parents requests for him to listen and tunes into his own "bunny world."

One day Buddy
is gets an chance to take a long hop, and is given
specific instructions by his parents to turn left at the end of
the two
paths. The path to the left leads around a pond and back home, but the
path to the right leads to the cave of grumpy Scuffy Varmit.
Unfortunately, again Buddy does not use his listening ears. Buddy turns
right and is almost cooked for Scuffy Varmitt's
dinner! Buddy finally listens to Scuffy Varmitt's threat to make soup
out of him and hops faster than ever before toward home! And later when
Buddy is asked to get a pen or a slice of bread for his parents
he
listens. This book illustrates a listening lesson that is well learned
by bunny Buddy.
