Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen

By Howard Binkow

        Howard B. Wigglebottom has a problem. He doesn’t like to listen at school. His behavior gets him into many humorous situations. When he has to sit in time-out, he has lots of time to think about the things that happen to him when he doesn’t listen. He decides he doesn’t like being in trouble all the time and tries to change. The remainder of the book shows a much-improved rabbit.
Each book in the Harold B. Wigglebottom series includes a back page spread filled with helpful tips for both children and their parents. Harold B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen includes a chart showing How to Be a Better Listener” and discussion questions for parents.

The story is cute, although a bit heavy-handed on its one moral issue (listening). It is a good book to share with the youngsters in your home.
