jaw move up and down and from side to side and from 

 front to back, somewhat like our jaw, but moving more

Summary. 



Have pupils tell : 



How the rabbit's way of eating is like ours, and how 

 different from it. 



How the rabbit's teeth and lips are like our teeth 

 and lips, and how they differ from them. 



STEP 2. Drinking. 



How does the child drink? Pours or sucks water 

 into his mouth. How does the cat drink ? Curves the 

 tip of its tongue into the shape of a spoon, and laps or 

 draws the liquid into the mouth. How does the rab- 

 bit drink ? 



STEP 3. Washing. 



How do children wash? Need soap, towel, comb, 

 brush. Do they keep as clean as Bunny? One great 

 reason why he is a pet is because he keeps so clean. 

 How does he do it without soap or towel? How many 

 of the children have their hair well combed or brushed ? 

 How does Bunny's fur look? How does he keep it 

 looking so well without comb or brush ? 



Bunny uses the bottom of his foot, with its stiff hairs, 

 for brush and comb, and his tongue for a wash cloth or 

 sponge. Licks with his tongue parts which call be thus 

 reached ; washes face and other parts with paws ; holds 

 down ears with hind paw, and washes with tongue or 

 front paw.
