My Weekend Warrior Friends and I are here again..... and this time we are having a giveaway, too!
Favorite books is a HARD thing to do just one post about, right? I mean we are all teachers and we all have a MILLION favorites right?
First up, is One by Kathryn Otoshi. Here you can see my principal reading it to our school last spring. As she read the story I just sat there and fell in love with everything about it.
Have you heard of it?
It is about friendship and bullying and let me just share the final sentence, "Sometimes it just takes one."
Next up...........
Who doesn't love Mo Willems? You may be thinking....um, Christy, haven't you shared this one before. Yes, I did... but I can't help it... LOVE it.
So this book "That is NOT a Good Idea!" is hilarious.
I love how it is set up as a silent movie... and see those cute little goslings? They are the audience watching the interaction between the sneaky, but dapper, fox and the goose.
It seems to be a lesser known title in Mo's repertoire {or is that just me?}... but you know who he is... with his famous pigeon stories! My favorite of his may be Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs.
This isn't a long story....in fact it is pretty short, but is very entertaining. I won't give away the ending because, well, That is NOT a Good Idea!
I will say I heard someone say this book seems a little "violent" Um, okay I guess I can see that, but have you read The Gingerbread Man, Hansel and Gretel or a million other children's classics that have a slightly disturbing plot when you think about it?
Mo Willems does a great job of playing off the typical old fashioned children's story {some of which I just listed above} ..... And what a great chat you can have about prior knowledge.
And it may be a lot of fun to take predictions of what the ending will be just before flipping to that last page!
This is what one of my little ones wrote after reading it... I don't think I would be giving away much, but I covered up some of her words that give away the ending.... although I guess the picture is somewhat telling!
In case you don't read kindergarten it says, "My whole entire class thought that the fox was going to eat the goose." And true that.... they did.
Now moving on to the good stuff!
