Title: The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs
Author: Told to Jon Scieska
Genre: Traditional Literature
Awards: N/A
Age Group: 6-10


Summary:
This book is the fox's version of what happened with the three little pigs. He began by saying he was trying to make a cake for his grandmother but ran out of sugar. He went to borrow some from the first pig who's house was made of straw, but because of his cold, he sneezed and blew the house down. Once the house was down, he saw the dead pig and couldn't let that ham go to waste. The same happened for the second pig with the house made of sticks. Now, when he made it to the third pig and his brick house, the third pig was very rude to him and told him to go away, and talked bad about his grandmother. Because of the rude comment, the wolf  went crazy and when the police showed up, all they saw was him huffing and puffing. So he ended up in jail and was never able to finish the cake for his grandmother.

Teacher Evaluation:
With this book being from another perspective, I would read the original three little pigs first. Then i would ask why they were so different. I would teach the students that every story has three sides, his side, her side, and the actual truth.

Title: The Other Side Author: Jacqueline Woodson  Genre: Historical Fiction Awards: N/A Age Group: 8-10 Summary: This book is about two little girls who we separated by a fence, that wasn't safe for them to climb over because the fence separated the whites and blacks.

They saw each other in town, and the black girl watched the white girl play in the rain. Once the rain stopped, the little girls introduced themselves and both sat on the fence together. Then, they all jumped together, and when the group was tired, they sat on the fence together.  Teacher Evaluation: This book showed me how we try to keep things separate but eventually, things all come together. I would use this book to teach that friends come in different shades, no matter what society says, "That's just...

Title: Abuela  Author: Arther Dorros Genre: Multicultural  Awards: N/A  Age Group: 6-9 Summary: This book is about a grandmother or abuela, and her granddaughter. It talks about them going all over the city, and the grandmother telling stories about how she grew up and where she lived. They would fly in the sky like birds and visit all the big cites, and see all of their family. They end their adventure with a boat ride, hand in hand. Teacher Evaluation: This is a book that I would have my ELLs help me with. Once I would get to the Spanish phrases, I would have them say it and I would repeat after them. Since I am teaching them English, they can teach me some Spanish.

She swallowed several animals until she died. Teacher Evaluation: This book was a fun book that I would use as a nonsense book.
