*uses a friendly language, accessible to children of different ages
*it matches our Peace theme perfectly!
*the illustrations are fun.
*the author uses the five senses to write about PEACE
*it is an outstanding mentor book!
*great example of metaphors and similes!
Yes, there are many pluses to this book. I love when I can read a book, enjoy it but also use it as a mentor text for a particular teaching point. In my classroom we are getting ready to discuss how authors use their five senses to give life to their writing. I think I found the perfect mentor text using a familiar theme.
Don't miss the last page in the book, the word PEACE is written in approximately 150 different languages. Love it!

Thank you so much for the great idea. I'm going to look for a copy and use it as mentor text as well, perfect now for the holidays!I'm finding my students are so eager to refer to real books for ideas...
