Leo the rabbit whose ears are different from all the other rabbits learns that "normal is whatever you are." Each Serendipity series book teaches children a different social skill. Written on the front of every new cover is the moral of the story. One thing I really like about these books is that they can also be used to teach more than just acceptance and social skills. They are also great for teaching mini-lessons during writing. This particular book uses great word choice and imagery to to describe the setting beginning with the very first sentence. "Beyond the horizon, farther than far, in the middle of the Crystal Sea, was a beautiful island called Serendipity."
