He thinks that he should be a bully since he cannot make a friend. He tries to be a bully picking on others and becoming muscular, but he realizes he is a terrible bully. He then decides to pick on a friend who is smaller than his size, Gomer. Gomer cries, but soon Thomas realizes that he is crying because of a true bully, the baddest-to-the-bone bully he's ever seen. Thomas saves his friend Gomer and when Thomas tells Gomer that he is a terrible bully, Gomer replies that Thomas is a "toadilly terrific friend". ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834094 Resources volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834095 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834095 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834096 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834096 My Reaction volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834097 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834097 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834098 My initial reaction to this book was laughter. I thought the concept of Thomas trying so hard to become a great bully was very funny. He was trying so hard to act so big and strong, after thinking that he would not be able to make friends. I loved how the book all throughout the story showed how though Thomas was truly persevering to be a bad bully, he was not a bully at all, from the start to the end. Moreover, Thomas ended up saving Gomer, a friend smaller than his size, rather than bullying him. Also, the two became friends, Gomer even stating that Thomas was a terrific friend. I think this book showed how kindness always prevails, even though sometimes being a bully might seem like a solution, especially when you fear not being accepted, like how Thomas felt at the start of the book.]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834098 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834138 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834138 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834139 Author: Donna Marie Merritt

She struggles with her different height. She has to stand in the back when taking the class picture, which she is upset about. She is supposed to stand next to her best friends Nancy and Luke. They are supposed to be like the three Musketeers. Her jump rope is also too short now. She is asked "how the weather is up there", which she does not think is funny at all. In the end, she is able to find a longer jump rope and saves the ball from the tree. Other children as well as Tina herself learns to accept her different height and learns that being different is nothing weird or wrong, but something to be accepted and appreciated. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834142 Resources volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834143 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834143 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834145 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834145 My Reaction volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834146 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834146 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834147 This book talks about Tina's struggling growing "too tall" during the summer.

For example, Roxy is told specific times when her mom will pick her up or she will eat dinner. Her family has a chart of specific snacks for specific weekdays. Roxy's mom sometimes needs to redirect her so that Roxy can communicate and play with Lenny.

The traditional and more conventional "stepmom" was seen in storybooks and fairytales like Cinderella. The initial impression of a stepmother or step-family members connected to the idea of "Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters" who tortured Cinderella mercilessly. However, modern books are more positive towards stepfamilies, stepmothers, and stepsisters, as well as stepbrothers. I loved that this book showed how a blended family can also be a very happy family. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834216 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834218 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834218 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834219 Author: Claudia Harrington

For example, introducing the letter D, they teach the readers about the term "drag". I initially thought this book was very informational and positive in that it teaches children LGBTQ+ terms and allows them to become more familiar with certain concepts. I do feel a bit wary about teaching a toddler his or her ABCs with this book. I think some parents may feel uncomfortable teaching their toddlers the English language with this book. I think this book may trigger some controversies. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834239 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834240 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834240 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834241 Author: Claudia Harrington

He also explained that there are times when he has to spend time with his uncle because his mom has to work late.

I loved how Lenny was willing to learn about Destiny's family. I also thought it was interesting that Destiny's dad made chocolate covered broccoli and Lenny exclaimed a "Yum".

A wemmick named Punchinello only receives grey dots and feels sad about only receiving negativity instead of the gold stars he really wants. One day he meets a girl wemmick named Lucia and discovers that Lucia does not have either gold stars or grey dots, because they never stick to her. Punchinello also desires to become like Lucia: he wants to stop the stickers from attaching to him. Punchinello goes to his creator Eli, and asks him how to become like Lucia. Eli explains that the only way to stop the stickers from attaching is to stop caring about what the other wemmicks think. This book shows that what is most important is realizing and knowing your self-value and loving yourself, rather than relying on others' opinions. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834284 Resources volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834285 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834285 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834286 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834286 My Reaction volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834288 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834288 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834289 You can be fast. You can be slow. In terms of thinking or running, or anything else. You can be black. You can be white. You can be Asian. You can be different in so many ways, like how this sloth in the picture is slow, yet special in his own way. More children should realize that differences should be accepted and not looked down on. More than that, more children should and must learn to learn themselves first before anything else. The stickers in this book reminded me of facebook and instagram likes, and how children and teenagers these days are so obsessed with getting more likes. This reflects how children and young populations desire to get recognized and complimented by their peers. Children may feel ostracized or left out when they feel like they do not get enough likes or recognition, when they do not feel "popular" enough. However, what they should know is that what matters most is how much you love yourself. This book teaches readers and children that what determines your true value is yourself, not other people. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834289 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834290 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834290 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834291 Author: Susan Kerner

As the book says, while the ones we love, and the ones that love us dearly, may pass away and go up to heaven and the sky, they will never leave us. The book shows how the children in the book still have their lost parents with them in a sense. It also shows how the imprints that parents left on earth, the children, still linger. The girl's mother says her father is "in her eyes" and that the girl "has his nose". This book shows that though a child may have lost a parent or parents, love is eternal and their memories and traces still remain. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834294 Resources volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834295 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834295 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834296 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834296 My Reaction volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834297 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834297 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834298 This book was beautiful, positive, and hopeful, but I still felt deep sadness and grief. For children, losing a parent or living without a parent can be a difficult issue to overcome. They may feel as if they are missing something in life. However, this book shows how parents are always there for us, no matter what, whether that be in real life or after death. This book showed how though life can end, love cannot. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834298 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834300 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834300 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834301 Author: Mac Barnett

The boy goes out to the world and learns that different people have different definitions of love. To the fisherman, love is a fish. To the carpenter, love is a house. To the actor, love is applause, recognition of the crowd of people watching his performance. Like this, the boy, who grows and ages, throughout his life, sees and learns that everyone has different definitions of love. The boy all grown up now returns to his grandmother and says that he has answered the question: What is love? I believe that to the boy, to the boy who has now become a man, love is his grandmother, or perhaps family or the love he has with the ones he cares about, or loves. See? As the grandmother said, we cannot actually say correctly what love is because love is so broad and deep at the same time. Perhaps that is why the book's title itself is the question: What is love? ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834304 Resources volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834305 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834305 My Reaction volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834306 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834306 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834307 The book, the title itself being a question, seemed to be asking not only the boy but also all of us, the readers the same question: what is love? It made sense that different people loved different interests and things. It made sense that the fisherman loved fish and the cat loved the night. The book made me question what I love. I love children, I love mentoring them, and that is why I chose education as my major. I love teaching. As a teacher, I think I will love students. That will be my reply when I am asked what I love. I will also reply that I love ice cream, Korean food, tacos, UT Austin my beloved school, my family, and myself. Love can be so many things and we can love so many things as well.

The grocery consists of silly items like spiders' legs and extra clean germs, which dad laughs about. The girl is excited to be at the grocery store out with her dad and runs and runs and bumps into a man. Her dad tells her to stop and the girl sits still and tries to behave. However, she ends up sneezing making her dad jump and causing the people in the grocery store bump into each other, also making objects fall. Everyone blames each other and the girl exclaims that she sneezed and started the whole chaos. Everyone realizes that there is no use blaming each other or anyone and cleans up the mess together. The girl's dad is very proud of her. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834313 Resources volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834314 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834314 My Reaction volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834315 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834315 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834316 I love how this book showed the love between the dad and the daughter. The dad, though he did in a sense discipline his daughter when she got too excited and started running around, was clearly proud when she was honest to the people about sneezing first causing the chaos. I think children can get into big and small accidents, not because they are careless, but because they are people. And I believe that the book portrayed such accidents as a simple sneeze. Like the girl in the book, children should learn that blaming is never the right choice and that it is okay to talk about what happened, especially when you had no intention to make it happen. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834316 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834317 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834317 volcanock252 https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834319 Author: Zack Bush

I remember how my dad taught me about the solar system using the sentence "Most violet evening moths jitter slowly until night passes." I loved how this book conjured up those memories I have with my dad. I also realized that it is important to make learning a fun memory, like how my dad made learning fun for me. I think this book certainly is included in the "fun" category, with its humorous rhyme and colorful pictures that enchant the readers. Moreover using phrases like "Pluto was fired", it conveys scientific facts with humor, not only entertaining children but also making the information in the book easier to understand. I would certainly recommend this book to children, since it combines language and science elaborately and enables readers to not only become more scientifically knowledgeable but also to improve their vocabulary using rhymes and poetry. I loved that this book combined multiple genres like being non-fiction and poetry and rhyme at the same time. ]]> 2022-04-17 05:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/volcanock252/g6gpm27w35v504bc/wish/2145834344
