Awards: No
Audience: 1st grade - 3rd grade
A. I would choose this book over newer books to show what old books look like. Teachers tend to pull out their new, pretty books but students should also get to see older books. This will help them see the history of how books have gotten better and better.
B. There is a part where the children take their clothes off. I would explain to my students that it's a cultural thing and I would tell them they kept their underwear on so they weren't completely naked.
