Interest level: k-2Possible uses of the text in integrated units of study (reading and writing across the curriculum): This book is a fun book to use as a readers theater. A lot of characters and dialogue. This is also a good book to use to read as a read aloud or shared reading while teaching students to write using quotation marks. One good activity would be for students to choose a scene, and draw their own pictures using speech bubbles instead of quotation marks to show what the characters are saying.

Potential Problems or Difficulties: I don’t see any problems or difficulties.
