The Rabbit Who Lost His Hop

Research tells us many common psychological problems can be prevented if children are taught specific emotional, social and behavioral skills when they are young. In each book in this series, an animal learns a new skill to overcome his or her problem. Each book also comes with a stuffed animal representing the story's central character and suggestions on play therapy techniques that can reinforce the message of the story.

In this entertaining story, Ricky Rabbit has forgotten how to hop. Instead, he races around, totally out of control. He can’t even play hopscotch like the other rabbits, because he just doesn’t have enough self-control. Ricky’s behavior frustrates his parents and teacher. Even his friends can’t play with him when he is so wild. Fortunately, Ricky goes to an understanding counselor who teaches him how to stop, relax, and think. With practice, Ricky learns to control his impulsivity and overactivity, and he gets back his hop.
