Long ears, round tail
A rabbit is a rounded body with two long ears and a small round tail, all separate regions. The ears are the identifying feature and the longest thin shapes on the page, which makes them the part that needs the most control.
The tail is tiny by comparison, and the contrast between the two — very long ears, very small tail — is worth pointing out. Size comparison within a single object is easier for a child to grasp than comparing two separate things.
Why the ears are so long
For hearing danger coming, and for keeping cool in the same way as an elephant's. A rabbit can turn each ear separately to listen in two directions at once, which children find genuinely impressive and will immediately try to do themselves.
