Summary
This book starts from a-z naming the different type of food that the animals are getting ready to eat for their potluck. Most of the animals comes from different types of cultures and are identify. The food and the animals are in a-z order.
Response
I like how this book helps students learn different types of food from a-z. I rate this four, because I see that there are some difficulty that can arise when a child is reading this. It's an alphabet book which helps student learn their alphabet but I wouldn't recommend this for a kindergarten or first grader, unless they are reading with an adult. Its seem because the length of the pages it may stop many students from continuing reading this. But overall, it has good quality, a good integrity, it is original, it does expand awareness of cultural differences and types of food (TMY, 2010,p.8-9).
Classroom Connection
This book can be connected with science, learning about different types of animal. It can be connected to social studies when students can research information about different countries and cultures. This would be a good math strategy when each student counts all the animals that attended the potluck.
Text Complexity
