The book is melodramatic-there is even an identity crisis. Readers get the chance to watch eight blades of grass grow-each in their own special way at their own special pace. Not so in Laurie Keller's new early reader, We Are Growing. Premise/plot: Usually when someone says a book is as exciting as watching grass grow it's a bad thing. (Maybe I read it to her last year and it's one of the many I forgot to record.)įirst sentence: BOING! What was that? I think I just grew! LOOK! Wow! You did grow! Look at that! I just grew. Especially the dandelion.Ģ/25/18 Read for a bedtime with SS since SD said we'd already read it to her. Were able to keep reading the book after only a few pages, so they were able to get the overall story and they enjoyed. Lots of newbies and not many wanted to try. They looked for the all uppercase letter words and then chose one letter to write on the white board. Pointing out the mower coming was great in all 3. The first grade liked this a little better than K, but K still liked because it was very like E&P. Read it to one 1st and both Kindergarten classes. This will be fun to read in storytime.ġ1/1/16-11/3/16 Used this at elementary school visits. I don't think I will ever mow the yard the same way again. Less busy in pictures so I could follow the story and speech bubbles more easily. This was scads better than the cookie one.
