This book is about a goose who chases a butterfly. This goose chances the butterfly all through the barn. It is an adventurous book, and will keep you wondering where the goose will be next.
I would use this book in a kindergarten classroom. This book is great for identifying different animals that could be seen on a farm. This book provides students with the noises that the certain animals might make. I would use this book to help identify and connect the appropriate sound with the correct animal.
I would rate this book advisable. The book provides a great learning atmosphere and would be beneficial. Although, I do not feel that this book would challenge students compared to other books.

Ratings
ESSENTIAL: It would be beneficial if the school library had at least one copy of this book. This is a book that students could find interest in, and also serves an educational purpose. This book may be challenging for the students, but it will help them grow academically and help them improve their education skills.
ADVISABLE: 'ESSESNTIAL' books are the most important and these books are next. These books are still beneficial to the students and could also be a popular genre, but it may lack in in the substance for educational purposes. The education purpose would focus more on students reading and comprehension.
OPTIONAL: Books are interesting for the teachers and would follow the curriculum. This book would not support the students and their growth as readers. These books would help provide students with a variety of options, but they are not common or the most popular.
NOT RECOMMENDED: These books would not be appropriate. The writing, theme, or plot should not be supported.
Dani,
ReplyDeleteI love your idea for using this book in the classroom. I too agree that this book would be a great introduction to animals and animal noises.
I remember this book throughout my childhood! I like how you incorporate this book into your classroom to identify animals. It is good to build that knowledge at a young age. Being able to put the correct name with the correct picture and make the proper noise that animal makes is good for children to know and understand.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds fun. I would like to use it maybe a way to show students poems can be used in many different ways.
