Title: Many Teaching Points
Review: I am a first grade teacher and use this book for many teaching points. The main idea or theme is the importance of "facing your fears." I also use it as an example for Writing Workshop. The author starts the story..."OOOO, I hate that Billy Huxley!" The writer captures your interest right away to keep you reading. Everybody has fears and this book begins by showing how embarrassing our fears can be. I do not read this book in one sitting because we stop to "turn and talk" for 1 minute on every page. Make predictions, connections and several vocabulary words. It takes me 3 days - 1/2 the first day, 1/2 the 2nd day and the 3rd day we create the chart. I use a graphic organizer and pair this book with "Thundercake" by Patricia Polacco, another great book about facing your fears. This book deserves the full 5 stars!
