“Now owen carrie‘s one of his not so fuzzy handkerchiefs with him whenever he goes”

I like this book for young kids. I know it‘s hard to not bring something special with you everywhere. It showed that all he needed was a little piece. I also love the pictures in the book they are so cute.

Fuzzy wasn't very fuzzy anymore. But owen didn't mind.

Throughout this book made me think of my very own childhood of my family trying to get me to get rid of my baby blanket and I would never budge. My family finally made it into a bigger throw blanket for me to keep on my bed and we too made a compromise.

Owen, published in 1993 was such a cute read. It went on about the little boy still having his baby blanket while his parents tried to get him to outgrow it. They finally made a compromise and cut the blanket up to make handkerchiefs that he can carry around with him. The perfect book to talk about compromise.

Owen by Kevin Henkes is an award-winning Caldecott book that's about a bunny who adores his fuzzy yellow blanket. He takes his blanket everywhere with him.. Until his teacher, Mrs. Tweezers said he wasn't allowed to bring it to school. This book would benefit students by helping them relate to their own security blanket.   Since this is a realistic fiction book, the UDL I chose was Activate or supply background knowledge (3.1).

This book, a Caldecott Honor book, is about a little mouse who loves his yellow blanket. His neighbor tries to convince his parents to detach him from the blanket and they try..

I would use this book in my future classroom, because it is a cute story and teaches children that it is okay to have an attachment to something as long as it is not taking over your life.

Owen stuffed Fuzzy inside his pajama pants and went to sleep.

This F book is a super sweet PR for young readers. It is about a mouse who has a favorite blanket that he takes EVERYWHERE and to do EVERYTHING. His mom and dad can't seem to get Owen to let it go, so mom comes up with the best solution for when it is time to start school. I believe having the students read this story in pairs will better give them a chance for discussion.

This book was very enjoyable to read because it had a great ending and it was funny when Owen would always somehow remain attached to his blanket while his parents were trying to get rid of it. I would use this book in my classroom to explain how it's okay to be attached to something as a comfort item as long as it's not taking over everything.
