It's a super Saturday which means it's time to link up with Paula for her Storybook Saturday Link Up!
I was in my local library picking out my weekly batch of books this morning when I noticed a sign which said that next week is National Civility Week (for my students: civility means showing respect and using good manners).
With that idea in mind, here is my recommendation for Civility Week or any week for that matter:
Enemy Pie by Derek Munson
This book even has an accompanying Reading Rainbow DVD:
This book tells the story of a boy whose new neighbor - Jeremy Ross - becomes his biggest enemy. Dad has a solution to help his son get along with Jeremy - he has to spend the day with Jeremy and invite Jeremy for dinner. The dessert is "enemy pie." This book is just a great story to begin with, and it has a great message, too. Plus, the DVD goes along perfectly.
Additionally, I found this link which has activities to accompany Enemy Pie.
Please let me know how you like your "enemy pie." Bon apetit!
Thank you for having me. I enjoyed reading to the class. They were attentive and respectful. I hope to visit again soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book for this week's focus for you. Enemy Pie sounds perfect. Thanks for linking up.
