Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-16 00:00:00 Leo Callaghan The Lion and the Mouse was a great fable. This fable was a great example because it was so brief and to the point. However, in the end, the message was to always help others. I think a book like this is so fun because it personifies animals. Kids love when animals are talking in the story, because they are likely to be more engaged. I see students at a young age begin to act like animals and impersonate them. Reading about this imagination helps them to think it is "normal" or gives them more ideas about how to impersonate different animals. Small lessons within a book are so important. When I am reading to younger children, I want them to hear a story that includes good, well-taught lessons. No matter how small the lesson, it is worth teaching children. I love the book "The Lion and the Mouse," because the message that it is teaching was only taught with a few words. There was never more than four words on a page, but the illustrations were wonderful. For young students, lots of text may scare them away. However, when they read this book they get to read very little, look at wonderful illustrations, and get a great lesson out of it. In a classroom, it is so important that students learn about the different genres of books. Fables were one of my favorites as a child, and I hope I can incorporate these texts into my classroom. My favorite was "The Tortoise and the Hare." I thoroughly remember reading this text and analyzing it. I am unsure what grade I was in, but many fables you can read and tailor to the needs of your students in any grade level. Not only do I want my students to be great readers, I want them to understand literature and the different types of literature. Small lessons within a book will allow my students to learn productive acts or words to live by.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-03-06 00:00:00 Josh Allison The story is separated into two parts. In the first part, the lion caught a mouse and finally set him free. In the second part, the lion was caught in a rope trap. When he roared for help, it was the mouse saved him. It is really clear for children to see that the two parts of story can be compared. The pictures are not that cute for cartoons, but add more details like the facial characteristics of real life. So, it is closer to the real lions and mice, which can help children to learn that not all of the animals can stand with their feet and use their hands as people in other animations. The author used a lot of bright color, like light yellow and light green, which indicated the optimistic opinions in the story. The action described in the pictures are clear and do fit the words on the side. The detail of environment are also great and they make sense.
