I would definitely use this in a classroom around 2nd grade. The pictures are amazing and it has an impactful message about keeping the waters clean and protecting their land.

“It was very dark and very, very quiet. But owl didn‘t mind, because he was brave, he was clever…”
I thought this was a great book to show my students. I would choose this as I feel many of my students could relate. The owl uses his strengths to get his job done. He uses his cleverness. It gives the message that you can do anything you set your mind to and I love that.
I‘ve always loved this line. “She swallowed the cat to catch the bird. She swallowed the bird to catch the spider. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.”
I love the “original” version of this book by Lucille Colandro. However, this is a fresh new twist on the classic story.
I liked that it showed different animals/environment throughout the book.
I think this book would be good for maybe 1st grade. The repetition makes me want to keep it for lower grades. The pictures are amazing and engaging. However because of the repetition, it wouldn‘t be my first pick. However, I love the Thai representation.
“…you can always make something out of nothing.”
I loved that this book also shows how you can reuse clothing which could inspire the reuse of other items. Like yogurt containers or shopping bags.
I love this book as the pages are cut out and it engages the reader more. It helps the reader to be more excited to read the book.
I loved the picture of officer Buckle and his dog sitting on the bench.
I liked this book. It had humor and I would use it for even up to 3rd.
I liked the illustration that showed the family setting out food for the dog even when he wasn‘t there.
I thought this book showed a nice story about a family who came to rescue a stray dog. It was heartwarming and the pictures also told a story of their own.
