Chaseb I think using this book as an IR is a great idea, especially to utilize that UDL strategy of choice! I‘m sure many kids that like dogs or cats would be drawn to read this book, just as I am now drawn to read this book! Some students may be able to relate to the story too, if they have dogs or cats! 4y

Sdemps The illustrations on this book just draws you in. I can see why this is a Caldecott Honors Winner. The website resource is in to me, but it provided great lesson plans and activities. 4y

DrSpalding I added this to my stack! Independent reading as a part of your classroom library is a wise choice. As noted, you can also teach specific vocabulary with any quality picture book. Beautiful images! 4y

Hondo and Fabian is a sweet RF story about the lives of a dog named Hondo, and a cat named Fabian. A Caldecott award winning book, written by Peter McCarty, is easy for children to connect with. UDL 7.2 could be used with this book because the short story makes connections and is relevant and authentic to kids. And Esol strategy 4 could be useful with this book to link connections with kids prior knowledge. #ucflae3414su20

DrSpalding Are we sure this is realistic fiction? It looks more like modern fantasy… Are the animals doing anything that they could not actually do in the real world? Having students follow along and stamp the dog or cat with the images presented in your resource could be a wonderful interactive read aloud activity. 5y

These are beautifully illustrated stories that teach simple lessons of love, friendship, forgiveness to young children. McCarty is a great story teller who keeps his writing clear and relevant for his audience. Great bedtime stories.
