A major frustration! I really wanted to like this one, and there‘s no doubt that McBride can write. But this book was a long slog for me, featuring a large cast of characters and a plot consisting of meandering vignettes. It didn‘t feel very satisfying, and the end fell flat for me because I felt like I‘d worked so hard to get there that I wanted more than what I was given. #greedy 😂

The Greedy Python is a RF about exactly what the title says. A hungry python learns his lesson about eating all sorts of different animals and how it makes him feel. I think this book is great for an AS as Eric Carle is such an amazing author. This is a link to an author study already made about Eric Carle that can be an example to students. https://create.piktochart.com/output/44916549-hadassa-jeanlouis-author-study-2. #UCFLAE3414SP20

“On the day of her wedding to the prince, as Renée spoke her marriage vows, better jewels nor flowers fell from her lips, for now she had no longer needed them.”

Traditional. This is essentially a different version of the classic Cinderella tale, making the story perfect for young children. It‘s silly but still has a message and is easy to follow and engage a classroom of children.

Toads and Diamonds, retold by Charlotte Huck and illustrated by Anita Lobel, 1996. This story is very much a Cinderella story but with a twist. The story incorporates the connection to animals in a way that eventually connects her to the old woman. This story has a lesson to be learned about being kind to all will have its rewards and the illustrations accompanying the tale help the reader visualize it very well.

“Though she did not come from a noble family, he felt she had a noble heart.”

I liked how this particular illustration showed a montage of Renee doing chores
