The smart cookie is a sweet story of a cookie that discovers that everyone is smart in different ways. It‘s inspiring to young readers to find what they are good at. They may have a hard time and fail at some things but they should keep trying.

This is a story told often to young children and i think hearing a different version is fun and would keep students engaged. They can make connections to the other fables mentioned in the story. I also think it has a great message of taking control of your story.

The Lion and the Mouse | Aesop, Jerry Pinkney

In class you can use this book to have students work on writing by having them write in words for the story. This is also good for students to work on making inferences and predictions.

I enjoy this book because it tells the story that inspired one of my favorite characters, Winnie the Pooh. It is a fun and intriguing true story. I think true stories can make them more fun as books.

I enjoyed this book and think that it has a very meaningful message. Body positivity is such a struggle, especially for girls as they are growing. The book is great for advocating self love.
