Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by Doreen Rappaport

This book would be useful in third grade for reading alone but would work well in lower grades as an introduction to famous people and non-fiction books. It would serve well as a read aloud. The language may be a little complex but the pictures are helpful in understanding some of the story. It would be good to do vocabulary activities with this book. I would pick out different words the students may not know but are more likely to be heard in their own lives.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

This book would be useful in kindergarten classrooms. It introduces some new vocabulary but is not very complex. The book is usually interactive so the pictures do add to the understanding of the story. I would use this to teach the days of the week. I would have the children write about things they do or eat on particular days of the week. I would also use this book to show print concepts because the layout is very clean and illustrates very well which way books should be read..

This book would be useful in a third grade classroom. It has good vocabulary. I would use it to pick out words with specific word parts like th-, wh-, etc. Then we could use those beginnings to make other words. I would do an activity where they would pair the beginning word parts with different endings.

This book would be useful in a kindergarten classroom but also in higher grades. I think this book offers things that would be helpful up to and possibly beyond the fifth grade. It mentions different career paths for each letter which teaches more than the alphabet. I would use this to teach comprehension skills where the children would write about what they think one of the careers do based on the words and illustrations in the book.

This is a book of poetry that would be useful in third grade classrooms. It has many metaphors and similes which may be too complex for younger grades. I would use the book to teach figurative language. I would model different forms of figurative language and then have my students find examples in the book. Then we would construct our own metaphors and similes about our own lives.

One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia

This book has some complex historical connections in it. I think it would be most appropriate to read aloud in fourth grade because the ideas may be easier to relate to. It is a chapter book and has some good vocabulary in it. However, I would use it in an internet search. We would pull out the names of important people and events. Then we would search for information about them on the internet and compile a class list.

This book would be useful in first grade. It is written in letter format so it may be a bit complex in the beginning. However, since the structure of the text is the same throughout the book, it will be easier for students to model after. I would use it to have my students write letters to someone they miss about what they are learning in class.

This book would be useful in first grade. The structure of the book may be complex. It does not look like other books first graders might have seen. I would use this book to discuss text structure briefly. I would point out the words that were written differently. I may have them practice reading using different voices.I would also use this book to lead an internet search. We would look up people like Harriet Tubman and make a class list about them.

This book would be useful in any grade but would probably be more useful in kindergarten or first grade. I do not think it is a complex book. The pictures follow similar patterns as well so it wouldn't be hard to follow along for kindergartners or first graders. It is a wordless picture book about a kid trying to find something outside. I would use it to have my students write about one or two of the pages. They can write what they think or want to happen.

This book would be useful in a second grade classroom. I think the purpose of the story is very complex. It requires the student to read between the lines. However, I think it would be very useful when read aloud and broken down. I would ask my students what they think enemy pie is before we start reading. After, we'd discuss what happened in the story. We would write our own class recipe for enemy pie and put it up in the classroom. It would compare/contrast well with The Honest-to-Goodness Truth by Patricia McKissack.

Cracking Up: A Story about Erosion by Jacqui Bailey

This book is useful for third grade. I would read it with just the basic story line first and then go back and read the side-notes. It is non-fiction so I would use a KWL chart to find out what we already know and want to know before we start the book. Afterwards we'd fill the chart with what we learned from reading the book. Before we started, we may also look at other books to gather background information. This book will also provide good vocabulary for science and we can use it in future writing.

This book would be useful for third grade. It is a little complex because of the figurative language. I would use this book to teach figurative language. I would have the students look through the book and identify examples of figurative language. Then they would construct their own figurative language examples.

This book would be useful for second grade. It has complex sentences and punctuation. I think the concept may be a little complicated because the ideas are sometimes only implied and not explicitly stated. However, it would serve as a good text for developing writing. I would use it with comprehension tasks. I would have students fill out a web for who, what and when. Then they could write about where they live and their family.

This book would be useful for first grade. It is a bit complex because the usage of comas and other punctuation. It has some good vocabulary. I would use this book to teach the usage of double letters like ee or oo. I would use the activity where we create different words around the double letters by changing the first and last letters.

This book would be useful in first grade. It is relatable and not very complex. I would use this book to have my students write about what makes them a wonder. I would not use this book for vocabulary because it is not rich with vocabulary words. I think it serves better as a basis for a comprehension activity. Writing about what makes them a wonder will help them connect to the story and will show their understanding.

A Pig Parade Is a Terrible Idea by Michael Ian Black

This book would be useful in second grade classrooms. It is complex because of the vocabulary. It features words that would not be commonly seen in every day life. Pulling the vocab from the book would be beneficial but I think having the students write would be better. I would have the students write their own stories about why a pig parade may be a good idea. They could also use another animal to say why it would be a bad idea for them to have a parade.

# data[].attributes.body
This book would be useful for third grade. It has some complex punctuation and the idea of the story may be a little complicated. It would be important to discuss the historical context beforehand so we'd find background information. I would have my students discuss the overall idea of the book. Then they would write poetry about how they'd stick up for something or someone.

This book would be useful in fourth grade. It has a lot going on structure wise. I would use this for vocabulary and comprehension. I would pick out vocab words and have the students help define them based on the context. At the end of this book, there is a recipe for integration. I would have my students write their own recipe for friendship. I would also use this book to compare/contrast with the book White Flour by David LaMotte.

This book would be useful in kindergarten. It may be complex because of punctuation but I do not think the overall concept is too complex for kindergartners. It is not easy to predict but the pictures do help carry the story along. I would use this book with charts. I'd create a who, what and when web and have the students help fill them out. We would talk about how they know based on information in the book.

The Honest-to-Goodness Truth by Patricia McKissack

This book would be useful in kindergarten. The message of the story is not too complex and is made more clear at the end of the book. I do not think it would be easy to read on their own but it would be easy to understand if it was read out loud. I would pick out some of the words in this book for cultural awareness but I would focus more on other vocab that is more universal.
