This book is precious. It is the story of a little rabbit who has an imaginary friend named Harry. At the beginning of the book, Little Rabbit spoke of Harry as a real person and they did everything together. Their favorite activity was rolling down the hills on the green grass in the spring. In the fall, Little Rabbit started school and began making lots of new friends. As time went on, Harry showed up less and less at school until one day his mother asked him how Harry was doing and he actually had forgotten about him! He then explained that Harry moved away and didn’t have a phone or the ability to read or write, so he would not be contacting them any time soon. But he always remembered Harry when he was on the hills they used to roll down because Harry loved to do that.
“Imagine Harry” would be a great story to use in a kindergarten classroom towards the beginning of school because it is likely that several of the kids will have imaginary friends or just be nervous about making new friends. It could easily apply to a wide group of students. The illustrations, down in water color, are also very sweet and fitting for kindergarten-age children.
