I liked this part about wanting to take a nap with dad on Sunday‘s because kids can make connections and relate to that and not feel so far from the story even though it‘s something they haven‘t experienced

Red Scarf Girl | Ji-Li Jiang

I would defiantly use this book with second graders and up because there‘s no pictures and it‘s a story you really have to follow. This would be a perfect resource to use while learning about the Cultural Revolution

The Mighty Miss Malone | Christopher Paul Curtis

I like the beginning of the book and how they started it off with her writing an essay, and kinda starts building her character as the smartest girl in the class from the very beginning

blurb

The Mighty Miss Malone | Christopher Paul Curtis

Although I liked this book, I don‘t think it should be used for children younger than 3rd grade because it tells a story of hardships they might not understand yet

This is a historical fiction book. This book does tell a good story, that provides background information and includes different cultures and hardships

“spraying bit of messy worm about” I think this might gross some kids out and turn them off of the book

blurb
cparsley

I don‘t think this would be a good option for children because some of the science goes a bit too in depth and might be too much for kids to read and listen to

This is a historical fiction book about a girl and her love for science. I liked this book but it might not be good for children. This was a chapter book that I read the whole book, so i counted it as 5 books

“she‘s my best friend, even if she is a girl” I chose this quote becuase it simply told the conflict that the character is feeling and struggling with

blurb

I would use this early on in teaching this genre becuase it is a chapter book but at the same time very simple and not too much of a complex story

This is a contemporary realistic fiction book. It does a good job of portraying children‘s everyday life becuase it tells a story that‘s applicable to almost all children and their friendships. This is a chapter book and I read the whole book to count it as 5 books

I liked this whole page a lot because it‘s explaining her town of bogota, and later in the book there‘s more pages like this but explaining things like why her best friend is awesome. I like that it‘s normalizing different cultures

blurb

Juana and Lucas | Juana Medina

I would use this book when learning about different cultures or if the children learn spanish. it does a great job of using spanish during english sentences but with words that sound similar to english
