Title: I read this to my first grade students
Review: I was handed this book by one of my first grade students, not having ever seen the book. I read it during story time and they were SCREAMING with laughter. I had to stop several times. It is a very, very funny book. I admit, I was a little surprised by what I thought could easily be seen as racial themes. Half my class is Latino and they didn't seem upset by it- they were howling with laughter. It is in our school library (with mostly minority children) and was donated by a local family. I decided it's harmless and if the kids love it, relax. It's a great book.
