Welcome to Litsy!

This book is very touching and I personally enjoyed it. I worry that children who might not have great relationships with their parents might not connect to it so much but I could also see it having the opposite effect with some students. Overall I thought the theme of unconditional love was great and well written.

“And as the sun finally set, the carrots of Crackenhopper Field…cheered!”

Then the teacher announced, “Lunchtime! Please have your lunch money ready. And remember, no shoving in line.“

This would be a good book to read when children are first starting school. There may be students in your classroom that are worried about going to lunch and this story may help them feel better.

This book is about Clyde and his worries for the lunch room. His older brother torments him about his lunch. “You better hope they don't have soup!“ he said. Clyde got all worried about having soup for lunch because he thought he would spill it all over the place. He had dreams about the lunch ladies coming up behind him to clean up the mess. The next day when he was at school, he had a great experience at lunch just like his mom said he would.

“Jasper couldn‘t get enough carrots…until they started following him.”

My mother came and helped me go through the kids books again! Bless her ♥️ perhaps one day I can go through mine but it will likely take a week!
