April Book of the Month Howard B. Wigglebottom: Learns to Listen   April 1, 2008 Dear Students, The title of the book that I have chosen to be April’s Book of the Month is Howard B. Wigglebottom: Learns to Listen.  It’s about a rabbit by the name of Howard B. Wigglebottom who stays in trouble because he does not listen when other people are talking to him. After Howard had to sit in time-out for a while, he decided that he would practice being a good listener so that he would stay out of trouble. My favorite part of the story is when Howard sadly sat in time-out thinking about his day and how lonely it is being in trouble. Then, he made up his mind to try to become a good listener. I like this book because the message is meaningful (It is important to be a good listener). Also the illustrations are very colorful and beautifully done.  The pictures help to emphasize the message. I hope you enjoy reading Howard B. Wigglebottom: Learns to Listen.  It is important to practice good listening skills. Love, Mrs. Betty Jo Jackson We Do Listen Foundation
