This book like many others is perfect for read alouds. It is an interactive book that the reader can wear to entertain others. It is characterized as a comical book because the reader has to describe the beard on each page and has to shout out a phrase that corresponds with each unique beard while wearing the book. This can teach students that everyone looks different and each person is unique in their own way. There are orange beards, black beards, yellow beards, gray beards, big beards, and brown beards. It may seem to be a book that is generalized for boys only, but I believe that girls would enjoy this book as well. This can be the LEA lesson for all students. The Illustrations in this book bring out the humorous side of the story. The beards are all different colors, textures, and belong to certain kinds of people. There is a lumberjack, pirate, cowboy, sailor, Santa Claus, and Police Officer. Most interestingly the police officer is a person of color. This can be seen as a controversial topic to have with students. ( )
