The fish is very arrogant because he looks nicer than all of the other fish. One day a fish asked him for one of his scales and he refused, so the other fish did not admire him anymore. He then visits an octopus who tells him to share his scales. He eventually decides to do so, and makes a lot of friends and is finally happy. I would use this to teach students that materialistic items are not necessary and that friendship is more important.]]> 2019-01-18 01:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/abbiecraig/jhdy92bssx12/wish/321973240 abbiecraig https://padlet.com/abbiecraig/jhdy92bssx12/wish/321974181 This book is about Max, a young boy who liked to pretend he was a wild thing.

He arrived the land of the Wild Things. There he was named their king. Despite being a king Max was lonely and wanted to be where he was loved. He decided to give up being a king and began his journey back home. There he found his dinner in his room. I would use this to teach students about respect and loving their parents.]]> 2019-01-18 01:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/abbiecraig/jhdy92bssx12/wish/321974181 abbiecraig https://padlet.com/abbiecraig/jhdy92bssx12/wish/321974905 This book is an inspirational story about the road of life.
