Month of January 2022: Young Reader’s Classics

READING LEVEL: 3.1 AR POINTS: .5

Another super cute children’s poem book written and published in 1971. This book reads very much like a Dr. Suess book, which I absolutely love. It’s the only kind of poems I even understand. It was in with my cousin’s (Lancer Woolwine) family photos, which I am currently organizing for their family. This book, missing its cover, stays with the family. ( )

Subject headings:
Elephants

An old favorite that still stands up well. ( )

This is a fantasy book about a community of animals. When the elephant announces his coming sneeze, the other animals lose their respect for him. Then a small hero seemingly saves them all. I would use this book when talking about diversity, and learning to accept one another for who they are. A person who might seem like they can't do a lot can actually accomplish a lot in the big scheme of things! ( )

I absolutely loved this book. I thought it was very humorous. After all, my favorite books are comedies. I loved how the author made it rhyme because it was more enjoyable for me to read. I definitely want this book in my classroom library! ( )
