Here Comes Peter Cottontail
How might your day be different if you were able to get back to yesterday?
Describe how the following song might be helpful to Peter Cottontail?
Drawing from the story, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’, write a narrative describing how the antagonist, Irontail, changed his attitude about Easter and children, and in the process becomes a nicer rabbit after having learned a lesson from the song, 'One Foot in Front of the Other’.

Did you like the song? I know I did!
