Parent Guide > The Clever Rabbit
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "The Clever Rabbit" by Retold by Chitra Soundar.
In the folktale "The Clever Rabbit," a rabbit outsmarts a hungry tiger to avoid becoming its next meal.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will and Fear & Paranoia as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Can we control our fate?" and "How does fear drive action?"
