Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-15 00:00:00 Michael Arnold This is a great book! It has an inspiring story about the journey of life. It is about being kind to others as you go through life and enjoying life. I think all children will be able to learn from this text. They will learn to think about others.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-18 00:00:00 Chris Town The book I selected as a read aloud was "Is there really a human race", written by Jamie Lee Curtis and illustrated by Laura Cornell. This book is perfect for a read aloud for younger students! The illustrations are big, bold and bright. They would be able to keep the students attention and make them interested in the story. The story itself was also very well written. It follows a boy who is learning about race and thinks its literally a race that he must prepare and train for. He goes through the colorfully illustrated pages and wonders about how exactly this race works. At the end of the book he ends up realizing that we should all just try our best because if were rushing we won't see the beauty of the world. The story ends with making friends and helping make the world a better place for the whole human race. I really enjoyed this book and think children would too! It could be used in the beginning of the year when getting to know classmates and how students realize their differences but they are all in this "race" together.
