This book is about a little money who likes to get into situations caused by curiosity. The illustrations are important, because they show characteristics of George and the man with the yellow hat for children to see.

Big Bad Bruce | Bill Peet
Pickpick

This book is about a mean bear who meets his match, a magic witch, who shrinks him. I liked this book, because instead of showing punishment towards the bear, it sympathetically takes a look at the animals who were victim to his bullying

This book is about Sam I Am trying to convince the reader to try his green eggs and ham. The illustrations in this book are more sketched, just how Dr.Seuss‘s books are usually illustrated.

I would use this in my classroom to teach kids not to lie. If I notice a lot of lying or immoral things going on in the classroom, I can take this book out and we can learn from it

review

This book is a great book when it comes to teaching morals, the overlying theme of the book is to be truthful, because if you lie you will get consequences. I liked how the author portrayed that theme in such a simple and short plot as well.

In terror the boy ran toward the village shouting “Wolf! Wolf!” but though the villagers heard the cry, they did not run to help him as they had before.

I really enjoyed this traditional literature book, because the language was very lively and can engage students quick. I also liked how the illustrations added a whole new meaning to the book, showing them climbing out of their pages.

This is a story I used to love to hear my grandmother tell me when I was younger. The underlying morals of appearances can be deceiving and a little makes a big difference are lessons children must learn at a young age. I also liked it because of how simple and easy the plot is to read and understand

The Giving Tree | Shel Silverstein

The book has a very powerful message about giving and being selflessly happy with your actions. The illustrations added much more emotion and symbolism to the story, making it more interesting and deep.

Little Red Riding Hood | Trina Schart Hyman
Pickpick

I like how the story has the overly themes of stranger danger and obeying parents, because it is a crucial thing to teach children. The book represents cultural norms that have evolved through the years where children need to be more aware of their safety.
