What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this engaging animated series for preschoolers -- which doesn't have any questionable content to watch out for and teaches important messages about friendship, honesty, and loyalty -- is based on Eric Rohmann's Caldecott-winning picture book of the same name. In each story, the animal friends learn that it's easier to solve problems when they work as a team and think creatively.
What's the story?
Based on Eric Rohmann's Caldecott-winning book, MY FRIEND RABBIT follows the adventures of a group of animal pals who discover that the bonds of friendship and the strength of teamwork allow them to overcome any obstacle in their path. Characters include team leader Rabbit (voiced by Peter Oldring); his best friend, Mouse (Robert Binsley); innovative Hazel the squirrel (Denise Oliver); and lovably naïve Thunder the rhinoceros (Jeremy Harris). Each episode follows the friends as they encounter a challenge or puzzle that forces them to work together to find a solution. The animal pals are always willing to pitch in and help each other out, and with creative thinking and a thoughtful approach to problem solving, their teamwork always yields an answer.
Is it any good?
As cartoons go, this delightful series is as mild as they come. Simple, linear animation creates a peaceful viewing experience that both preschoolers and parents will enjoy. The stories move at a pace that's just right for 3- to 5-year-olds, and the dialogue verbalizes every move of the characters' problem-solving processes so kids can think critically as they follow along. Youngsters will relate to the types of issues the characters encounter and will benefit from the show's strong messages about friendship, teamwork, and learning from mistakes.
Explore, discuss, enjoy
Families can talk about the problems that Rabbit and his friends encounter and how they solve them. Kids: What question or issue did the characters face? What questions did they need to ask to get to an answer? Who helped along the way? What did they do?
Why is teamwork important when you're trying to solve a problem? Have
you ever needed to rely on friends for help? When? How did they help?

Let's Hopthink!!
My Friend Rabbit is one of my favorite Saturday morning cartoons. This show is also shown in Spanish.(on the Spanish channel) The show helps children to understand friendships along with moral lessons. My Friend Rabbit even teaches about the world around them, such as what clouds are made of or what echoes are and such. Like I said I really enoy this. This is something the whole family enjoys together.

We love it
Very good family show for your preschool kids. Artwork is simple and very pretty. Characters are lovable and funny. Lightly educational, not too heavy. Safe for everyone to watch. Target audience is very young (1 to 5?). Older kids may be bored.

This is a charming program that preschoolers and their parents will enjoy. There is much opportunity for family discussion about social development and problem solving. The tune at the beginning is catchy and fun, and one which your children will likely pick up and frequently sing.
