Students need to know that even if someone does something that frustrates you, they may not understand what they are doing wrong. My kids thought this book was really funny, and it teaches and excellent lesson- compassion. At the end of the book, the little boy warns you about elephants ruining everything, which lead us to believe there could be a sequel to this book. The little boy then realizes that the giraffe is not trying to ruin anything and that he has good intentions. Finally, one of the boy's friends tells him that he ruins everything and that everyone makes mistakes. It is unique to have a skunk as a main character of a book as well, because that does not happen very often.Ī little boy talks about how Giraffes ruin everything- flying kites, going to the movies, secret club houses, and many other things. It gave the kids an opportunity to have some discussion about the reasons they think the skunk followed him and create their own endings and hypothesis. I like that the book leaves you wondering why the skunk followed the man in the first place. He finds the skunk and decides that he will keep an eye on the skunk to make sure he doesn't start following him again. Then he begins to wonder and worry about the skunk. He finally manages to lose the skunk, and he decides to buy a new home and new things and settle down in a new location so the skunk can't find him. The skunk follows him everywhere he goes, and it begins to make the man very nervous and upset. This book was about a skunk who shows up on a man's doorstep one morning. I think this will be a popular book in the library. I also think it is a great book to review grammar usage. I think it is a great story to teach students about being kind to others and realizing that some people speak and act differently than you. They loved it! I even had a student correct another student's grammar after we got done because he used the same incorrect grammar as the donkey did in the story. The kids laughed non-stop while I was reading this book. Would you recommend this book? Why or why not? The kids learned that it is not always nice to keep correcting people and that sometimes it comes back to haunt you. At the end of the book, the yam tells him that he is a vegetable and so are all of his friends. The yam is very frustrated because the donkey keeps using incorrect grammar and he keeps thinking he is a donkey. This book is about a donkey who thinks a yam is a donkey. It is a great book for discussion because it has lots of unique vocabulary words that students won't be familiar with, so this would be a great book to work on vocabulary with. I think some kids will also relate to having to give up something they really love because their parents can't afford it. This was a very heartfelt book and I think that kids will relate to loving a pet so intensely. Would you recommend this title? Why or Why not? When the new owner discovers Lassie came back, he decides to give Joe's dad a job taking care of Lassie, and Lassie gets to stay with Joe. She travels over many months to get to Joe. Later in the story, Lassie's new owner moves to another city far away. Lassie keeps coming back to Joe and they have to keep returning her to her new owner. Joe's dad loses his job and he has to sell Lassie to someone else because they can't afford to take care of Lassie anymore. Lassie, a dog, and her owner Joe love each other very much. If you are uncomfortable with medical drawings of sex organs or terms involving reproduction I would not put this book in your library. I will say that this book covers the reproductive system in vert clear and honest language, but it does not cover reproductive act. Another reason I would recommend this book is because systems of the body are part of the next generation science standards used by JCPS. accurate and colorful which will appeal to a middle school reader. There is not any medical jargon or anything to confuse a middle school reader. The language in this book is clear and straightforward. Would you recommend this title and why or why not? The book contains a glossary, bibliography and other recommended texts. The book contains color drawings and because of the amount of information that is covered in the book there are lots of words in each panel. the immune system and the nervous system. The book covers eleven different body systems including the skeletal system, the digestive system. A comic book describing the different body systems narrated by a skeleton.
