Great book, and great questions to ask kids.
Love love this book and your teaching ideas. I used it with both a 3rd grade class, highlighting 'understanding narration' and 'playing with point of view.' I also used it with a first grade class empahszing the 'speech bubbles as Craft.' Thanks for the recommendation.
