This is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Third graders enjoyed the read-aloud available on "Storyline Online". ( )

This fun picture book is told from the point of view of two different characters: a young girl and a woodland creature. Excellent book for teaching about different perspectives.

This book is super adorable. I definitely want to try it out at a storytime soon. A girl/beast comes across a creature/animal who is obviously in distress/just hanging out. She rescues/kidnaps him, keeps him in a nice little house/terrible prison, dresses him in adorable/ridiculous clothes, and exercises/tortures him. How will things end for this thoughtful girl/thoughtless beast and her happy new pet/desperate-to-be-free captive? READ IT TO FIND OUT! ( )

It is important for students to learn that everyone has a different opinion and a different side to a story and neither of them may be right or wrong. In the story we see two different point of views of the same story, from a girl that captured an animal and made it her pet and an animal that was captured and confined. In the end of the story both of the "terrible beasts" realize that they want to be in each other's lives and they learn that they are not so bad after all. ( )

I loved this book; it was so cute! the book was in two parts. I have never read a children's book with the book broken into sections based on the characters point of view. The book was about a little girl who was walking through the woods and finds a squirrel and takes him home and keeps him as a pet. The book explains her journey and then goes into part two of the book where the squirrels point of view came to play in the story. The squirrels part of the book was so funny. The squirrel couldn't understand why the girl was giving him baths and dressing him up, so he ran away back into the woods. Until he realizes the young girl is great, so he goes to her house and then they experience a squirrels life through the woods. It was a great book. I would say the message behind the book is to tell students that not everyone is the same, but that doesn't mean they are not great people. You don't know until you meet them. ( )
