Teaching Ideas: |
It might be fun to talk about tone in connection with this book, since the author chooses her words and the illustrator his subjects with love and with a sense of humor. It could be used as part of a geography unit, with each student writing and collecting her/his own information about different parts of the country. It would fit in a rural unit (perhaps in contrast to Rylant's An Angel for Solomon Singer) or in a unit on reminiscences.
