Rabbit Tales
A tobacco prevention show
RABBIT TALES is a tobacco prevention show concentrating on the reasons why elementary students shouldn’t smoke or chew tobacco.

Cassandra the rabbit witch from the kingdom of Cottontail Warren has stolen Skavang the Dragon’s golden egg. If Skavang doesn’t get it back before his wife Wisteria gets back to the dragon lair, scales will fly! But Skavang has some problems. Being a breather of fire, he cannot run hard enough to catch up to Cassandra and when he does she knows he’s there because he smells like smoke—to say nothing of his horrible breath and yellow teeth. The show is followed by a Question and Answer session. There is also a PDF that the teachers or students can download. It is full of fun classroom activities to re-enforce the anti- tobacco message.
