An Animal Tale that makes Kids think

Should animals be kept in cages? Should they be kept in zoos? This book is based on a real "Ivan". It will provide interesting, thoughtful discussion topics for students.

1.I recommend this book to early elementary school students.
2.This book goes through the story of how a cat got a new bed and complained about how it wasn't the same as it's old bed. Then pupper and doggo see that the cat is uncomfortable the dog and the puppy go and try to find the old bed in the trash. They end up getting the old bed out of the trash and the cat ended up liking the new bed more because the old one smelled like dinner.
3.I definitely will have some books in this series in my classroom as well as in my house when I am a teacher.… (mais)

This book is sort of a graphic novel, there are only panels in some parts of it. The book is about Doggo and Pupper trying to find a comfortable place for Cat to sleep. Cat got a new bed from her owners but she expressed that she liked the old bed so much. So Doggo and Pupper retrieve the old bed from the trash only to find out that Cat likes the new bed now. I would use this book in a 1st grade classroom since it is a mix of picture book and graphic novel. It can be used to get students used to the idea of having panels in a book and how to follow along with those panels.… (mais)

Animorphs: The Graphic Novel – The Message continues Michael Grant and Chris Gine’s adaptation of K.A. Applegate’s phenomenal YA series that took the late ’90s by storm. Like the books themselves, the fourth book primarily follows the perspective of Cassie. Having established the Andalite/Yeerk war in the first book, this one features the humans – Rachel, Jakes, Tobias, Cassie, and Marco – learning more about the Andalites and their perspective on the war. Cassie and Tobias begin having dreams featuring a call for help coming from the ocean. The discovery of a piece of Andalite ship wreckage on a beach leads the Animorphs to the realization that there might be an Andalite ship crashed under the waves. The team copies the DNA of some dolphins to begin their exploration, leading Cassie to think about the ethics of copying animals without their consent. This ethical quandary reflects Cassie’s connection to nature while also leading to a consideration of how the Animorphs use alien technology. Their experience as dolphins also leads the team to understand more about how animals interact on our planet. The story also introduces Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, or “Ax,” the brother of Prince Elfangor, the Andalite who gave the Animorphs their powers. Through him, they learn more about the Andalites and the war itself. Like the preceding volumes, Gine does a phenomenal job portraying the body horror elements of the Animorphs’ abilities while using colors to differentiate between characters’ thought-speak and perspectives such as the whale’s mental images. As with its predecessors, this graphic novel is a great way for long-time fans of the series to revisit it or introduce it to their own children.… (mais)
