In the story the old man is showing his grandchildren his favorite dance move the "old softshoe". This book would be good for a classroom because it is lighthearted and very entertaining for children. I believe this would be good because it is very colorful and the kids would like it.

The story is about 12 little girls who all want this one dog to themselves. The girls are not allowed to have an animal where they stay so when there are inspections they hide the dog. Unfortunately the man who was inspecting found the dog and let him go. The girls were devastated and they went to find Genevieve. They then found the dog and all went to bed. This book would be good for children in grades K-2 because there is rhyming, and it talks about pets. This story would be easy for them to identify the who`s, the what`s, and the where`s and why`s.

One day he realizes that one of the rocks is magic. Whenever he picks up one of the pebbles and makes a wish they all come true. He saw a lion and got frightened and wished he would turn into  a rock He turns into a rock in strawberry hill. After he turned back into a donkey his dad put the pebble in an iron safe so Sylvester would not get back into it. I think this story would be  for 1st grade because it has many colorful pictures and could be a good use for imagination.

This makes him jealous so he grabs a rifle and begins hunting for the biggest bear in the neighborhood. He finally finds a bear and befriends him by feeding him maple sugar and then bringing him home as a pet. This story would be good with k-3rd. I think this is because you could ask questions such as, what would you do, or How do you feel? They would also enjoy the animal and the playfulness throughout the story.

One night the hermit sees a mouse about to get attacked by a cat he quickly changes the mouse into a cat. Throughout the story the animal he took keeps getting attacked by animals so the hermit has to continue to make his animal stronger. For example near the end of the story he turned the mouse into a tiger so he is one of the strongest animals. Then the tiger is rude to the hermit so he changes him back into a mouse and never sees him again. I think this would be good for Prek-3rd because there is many colorful pictures which is good for imagination also since the attention span is not very good the younger ages this story would be great because it talks about all types of animals and i feel as if younger kids would enjoy it.

He always lets in any wandering traveler walking on a stormy night. This story is based on a Scottish folk song. I think this is a good story for ages 3-6 mainly because there is a song and that would help with their attention span. This story is also good for children throughout that age group because the way the story ends will show justice and a happily ever after.

This story allows children to imagine how the real world is using their imagination. I think this story would be good from grades K-3rd because it could make them curious about the world they live in. The story talks about the environment and mainly trees and why they are important.

The black snake represents an oil pipeline threatening their way of life. the story protects our most important resources. This book would be good for grades K-2nd. I think this because the story shows a bit of repetition and it also talks about how important our resources are such as water. It explains how to keep water safe and how you should do it. I think this would be good for this specific age group because of the repetition and the information about the world.

When reading a wordless book I would ask the students what they see in the picture and how they would describe it. For this type of book there is no right or wrong answer it is mostly opinionated. I would also talk about the cover of the story for a while so they would have a better understanding on what they are looking for in the pictures. When looking at the pictures you should mainly focus on the facial expressions on the characters and focus on the setting. After you look through the story one time with the kids predicting what they think it is about go through again and do some storytelling. After going through a second time you could ask students questions such as, "What pictures helped you tell the story", or "what was your favorite part"? In this wordless book you could also ask about the who's, whats, wheres, whens, and whys. I think these types of books could be used for any ages because it is a fun way of learning and would keep anyone engaged.

She had very long blonde hair and her mother would slide down the tower using her hair. She would call up "Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair"  and she would do what her mother said. One day her mother left and she was singing in the tower. A prince heard her and instantly fell for her, he really needed to see her face. He decided to grab on her hair and pull himself up. At first Rapunzel is shocked because she has never seen a man before but as soon as they see each other they fall in love. Her evil mother finds out and cuts her hair and takes her in the wilderness where nobody will be taking care of her. The prince then goes back to see her and the mother pushes him out of the tower and is stranded in the woods. He then hears a women singing from a few miles ahead and he instantly knew who it was, it was Rapunzel. Finally, They lived happily ever after! I think this would be good for 2nd grade. They enjoy when there is a happy ending and this would be the perfect story for them. It has a few twist in the beginning so you do not know what is going to happen so this would be a great story for them. Zelinsky, Paul.
