I believe that since this book offered many different instruments and animals playing them, it reminded me of how diverse they were. In turn, this reminded me of your diverse our classroom is. This can easily be turned into a teaching point, but asking the students if they play any instruments, or even if they have different hobbies or activities they like to do. Since there will be multiple answers, it is a good way to remind them that they are all different from each other.

I liked this book because there were a variety of animals which were presented in the book, playing a variety of instruments. The scene starts out with one animal playing an instrument, then as the book progresses, more instruments and players are introduced in a rhyming sequence. Finally at the end, it turns out that the musicians playing were actually in a music box!

I really liked that this book was about sharing. This book teaches the children that it is indeed, better to share. When the pigeon was about to eat the hot dog, the duck came to ask the pigeon how it tasted, because he never experienced it before. The pigeon resisted, but in the end shared. It shows that they both were happy in the end, teaching the students that sharing is a wonderful thing to do.

When I first opened this book, the drawings were so funny! It was hard to not look at the book! I know that this will certainly help the students focus on the book. I liked that this book was about a pigeon who found a hot dog, and a little duck who came to pester him about sharing a hot dog. In the end, the pigeon shared the hot dog with him, and realized that his decision was good.

I like the bright colors in this book! It is a great teaching book for beginning to understand what different colors are, and introducing the students to animals, colors, and curiosity. From this book, we are able to help the students and their imagination. We can also help them understand the differences between different colors, and animals.

I like this book because it is very colorful, which makes it easy to grasp the attention of students. I also like this book, because it always poses the question: Where is the Green Sheep? When the Author poses a question to the readers, it will help them focus on the book even more, because they are eager to keep flipping the pages and find out where the green sheep is.

Since this book has a targeted audience of Kindergarten-First grade, I think it covers the topic of clothing, and how to put them on pretty well. The kids at this age are still figuring out how to put on their clothes and be responsible by themselves, and the mouse in the book shows them exactly how to do that.
Another teaching point that this book has, is that even though we go through an entire process of something, and work very hard, in the end, it will all be fine!

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed this book! It is a short nonfiction picture book about a mouse who gets ready to go to the barn. The mouse tries his best to hurry and get dressed, then in the end, his mom tells him that he is a mouse, and shouldn't be wearing clothes! It is a funny and cute book, and has some great teaching points!

This is another great book regarding behaving well. This book can remind students to think twice about making bad decisions. It also reminds them about the consequences if they choose to make a bad decision, and the guilt that they would feel if they made it.

This is another book which I love because it reminds kids to think twice about making bad decisions. Olivia is a piglet who often gets into trouble. One day, her mom had about enough, and Olivia was scared. Throughout the book, she spies on her mom to see what would happen to her, and what her mom would do. It turns out, her mom took her to the Ballet, which even then, she got into trouble.

Getting into trouble is something very common among younger students, so reading this book will be an instant connection to do. This is a very valuable lesson in the book, which tells us to be careful, cautious, and think twice about making bad decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved this book because it is simply a book every student can relate to: getting into trouble. It also reminded me of the very many times I got into trouble as a kid, too. Two ants are working hard like the rest of their colony, but fall astray to do their own greedy plans. They later get into plenty of trouble, and secretly come back to the colony as if nothing happened.

I really enjoyed this book because it reminded me how easily students in the classroom can be distracted. Some students in the classroom have a hard time concentrating, and do not realize the amount of work that they need to finish. The spider in the book was concentrating hard on finishing her web all day, and since she did not allow herself to be distracted, she was able to finish on time, and get a good night's rest. If this book is read to the students, it can be a great connection for them, and that they need to work hard and concentrate throughout the day to finish their work.

# data[].attributes.body
The spider in the book woke up and began to spin a silky web with her thread. As the day passed, more animals came to ask her questions, but the spider payed no attention, because she was busy. As I read this book, more and more animals came and tried to speak with the spider. At the end of the day, the spider ends up ignoring all the animals, in order to finish her web, and she was finally able to go to sleep.

I believe that this book is a wonderful tool to explain to children that they are each different and special in their own way. Some students can do some things better than others, and vice versa.
Another teaching point, is that friends help each other. The story of Fish and Frog is easy to see that this pair of friends were indeed different from each other, but helped each other out when one didn't know the answer.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked this book itself because it had a lot of vibrant colors, which I know will certainly pull the kids' attention in easily. I also liked that this book was also about finding out who you are, and what you can do. In this book, we can follow the story of Fish and Frog, two inseparable best friends who learn a lot from each other.

What I really loved about this book, is that even with something as fun and rewarding as baking cookies, there is always some hard work, and it pays off in the end. This can be applied to any situation, even working in school on assignments.
Another point that I liked about this book, is that when Mouse realized he messed up, he was frustrated, but didn't mind starting again. When students in our class get frustrated, this book can remind them its okay to be frustrated, but its more important that they continue and push through.

# data[].attributes.body
Mouse is a mouse who likes to bake, and thinks baking is easy sometimes. Mouse, however, took a break after putting the cookies in the oven, and realized too late that he left them to bake for too long; he burned the cookies! Mouse needed to start over, but he didn't mind.
What I loved about this book, is that there is a theme in the book, that you have to work hard. We get to be a part of Mouse's cookie adventure, and see what happens!

I really loved this book, because the author used her real life experiences to create this story. When we tell the students this, they can make a personal connection on how authors use their life to create stories. This can be a transition into a writing class, allowing them to use their own personal stories.
In addition to this, the story can be used as a discussion point for the students and their own families, and the experiences with them.

This is a children's fictional storybook. I really liked reading the book, because its an easy book to make a connection to. In this book, the author, Angela Johnson used her real life experiences to create this book. The subject of the book is three sisters, and how the author was one of three sisters. The book can easily spark a conversation between the story, and their real life siblings.

A possible teaching point in this book, is that Russell's friend the frog appears in all the books Russell is in. The students can write the story from the frog's point of view. Another teaching point, is that Russell and the word 'rustle' are homophones. We could discuss what that word means, and also discuss onomatopoeia since it is in the story as well.
In addition to this, a discussion point would be to ask the kids if they have ever had any trouble falling asleep, and what they could do to help them fall asleep.

Russell the Sheep is a children's fictional picture book, with about a sentence on each page. I loved reading the book, and thought it was funny how when we count sheep by going to sleep, we got to see what happens when Russell the Sheep couldn't fall asleep.
