This book is very entertaining and would appeal to children as well as adults. The Day the Crayons Quit is a witty story about a little boy who discovers the crayons in his crayon box are missing and notes have been left, all written by an individual crayon to, for the most part, express some grievance with the amount of work or the kind of work they do while coloring. This book would be a fantastic book to use across multiple grade levels. It would be a great way to discuss colors, how everything has a color, how color is used, as well as point of view, voice, and persuasive letter writing.
This is a great book to keep little ones entertained! It 's the perfect size for small hands, where parent and child can “quack-quack”
2. We the Kids: The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States by: David Catrow The age appropriate for children to read this book is for Elementary grade levels of first through second graders. The cover of the book shows the reader a little what the book will be about.
A Child Called “It” by Dave Pelzer is a biography about Dave Pelzer and how he managed to survive one of the worst child abuse cases ever reported in California. Dave’s life was full of starvation, torture, and cruelty from the age of four but it all came to an end at the age of twelve when his school officials reported
I took the book to work with me and read there on my breaks. I simply could not put it down. Which is also what I saw from other people that have read this book. I would without a doubt recommend this book to anyone that needed a story to read for a class because the story is exciting and they would enjoy doing this assignment. Not only would I recommend it for a student’s book report, but i would recommend this book to anyone just looking for some leisurely reading.
But as you read on, you start putting things together. Once you get what’s going on in the book it’s very interesting. I would be interested in how the author came up with this book. This book is all about what the world is going to be in the “future”. In the future firemen burn books for a living.
The kids faced so many racist situations in their life that they now know what and what not to expect from others. The reader can be changed by reading the book because it describes how the life of a person can be affected if they are mistreated by their skin color. Learning that a person’s life can be affected due to being treated unfairly because of race makes the reader not want to judge
Why were the Lithuanians treated like slaves; why did the community allow the Lithuanians to be treated in this horrible manner? Ruta Sepetys wants to teach us to stick to who we are and to not change for anyone, just because of your nationality. Ruta Sepetys, I am writing to you about Lina. I was wondering how you came up with a character like her? Also, how did you make her character feel so realistic?
The book was very informative of life when racism was more apparent. I think that books like this show that standing up to racism is an option. It shows that even children of a younger age were involved in the situation.
I think this book is very creative, because of the way the book is written and how the emotions
When Paul had his eyes spay painted by Erik it forever changed him and caused him to be visually impaired. The book “Tangerine” is packed full of suspense and has a plot twist for what seems like every page. I believe that almost all middle school students could find something to enjoy in “Tangerine”, but especially ones like sports. One person I would recommend “Tangerine” to is my sister because she is entertained by sports books.
Today, the book is being used by teachers in the United States as a tool to teach the necessity for interracial harmony and human
Peter and Judy find themselves to be very bored at home until they came across a board game that sent them through the most exciting and bizarre adventure of their lives. Jumanji is the name of the game that eventually comes to life when they find a lion under the bed, monkeys in the kitchen and rinos charging through the living room. I liked the idea that Chris Van Allsburg uses a child’s fear of something coming to life and coming after them it makes the story surreal. The illustrations make the story intense and exciting at the same time the animals come to life. Children of all ages would be drawn immediately to the drawings and intense action, however younger readers can think and talk about the characters and images but might be drawn back by the animals terrorizing the children in the book.
Colors are and show up in our daily lives. Around in Society today, colors give us options to explore and express our creativity around us. In Jonas’s community, Color is strange and difficult to grasp the concept of, simply because no one is used to noticing it around them. When The Giver transmits a memory of color to Jonas, Jonas questions The Giver, “But now that I can see colors, at least sometimes, I was just thinking: what if we could hold up things that were bright red, or bright yellow, and we could chose? Instead of the Sameness” (Lowry 98).
Color is a huge part of how people view different emotions and feelings. For an example, when people see the color black, they may feel darkness and loneliness. Using color as a description in books can really help the reader better understand what the author is trying to get across. Color can mean so much more than shades and tints, it can show true meaning and emotion. It's proven that warm colors trigger thoughts of happiness, energy, and optimism.
Daywalt took an item that children use on a daily basis and created a conflict that they would understand. The theme, as previously discussed, is successful in teaching a lesson without stating it obviously. This makes the book perfect for read alouds in classrooms from which teachers can create extensive lesson plans for an elementary class. Middle school teachers may also use this story because of the mature nature of its theme in a fun and humorous way. Both adults and children would be attracted to this story as a buyer.
