My Friend Rabbit
Rohmann, Eric
FIC .014 ROH
My friend Rabbit means well, begins the mouse narrator. But whatever he does, wherever he goes, trouble
follows. Once Rabbit pitches Mouse's airplane into a tree, Rohmann tells most of the story through bold,
expressive relief prints, a dramatic departure for the illustrator of The Cinder-Eyed Cats and other more painterly
works. Rabbit might be a little too impulsive, but he has big ideas and plenty of energy. Rohmann pictures the
pint-size, long-eared fellow recruiting an elephant, a rhinoceros and other large animals, and coaching them to
stand one on top of another, like living building blocks, in order to retrieve Mouse's plane. Readers must tilt the
book vertically to view the climactic spread: a tall, narrow portrait of a stack of very annoyed animals sitting on
each other's backs as Rabbit holds Squirrel up toward the stuck airplane. The next spread anticipates trouble, as
four duckling onlookers scurry frantically; the following scene shows the living ladder upended, with lots of flying
feathers and scrabbling limbs. Somehow, in the tumult, the airplane comes free, and Mouse, aloft again, forgives
his friend... even as the closing spread implies more trouble to follow. This gentle lesson in patience and loyalty,
balanced on the back of a hilarious set of illustrations, will leave young readers clamoring for repeat readings.

Students with Severe and Multiple Disabilities
This text is presented in four sections. These are (1) Materials and Applications for Curriculum Design,
(2)Materials and Applications for IEP Development (3) Instructional Design, Implementation, and Monitoring and
(4) Designing and Implementing Skill-based Instruction. The individual education programs (IEP) are the key to
achievement for each disabled student providing both the student and teacher continue a rapport and attain
continuous progress. Each student in the class will require the ever present variable of the teachers willingness to
particularly in a salient way, the steps needed for each student to move at the pace of the class as a whole. The
goal of staying at the normal distibution level will keep the student motivated to gain ability at a constant pace. In
this way each student will gain insight into how to best manage his/her individual education program and how to
have steady achievement. The involvement of parents and the approach to enabling them to participate in
assisting their disabled child is clearly and logically discussed. Without the assistance of parents the disable child
will have a major setback. The parents may be floundering in their assistance unless there is guidance.The same
can be said of the entire teaching staff, including aides, unless their is a mutual understanding of each disabled
childs problems abnd learning style. Students must be assisted into gaining insight into how the total class makes
process and how to learn how to stay in step so as not to become withdrawn and to understand full participation
in learning goals for all. Regularly scheduled staff meetings provide a means of establishing a uniform approach
to each student and the variable present in each case. A number of devices for monitoring the progress pace of
each student needs to be a part of the whole structure of teaching around each group of students.
