It was a great book for a child that is old enough to read and one that can recognize feelings of a new sibling coming to the home, no matter how. (Birth/foster/adoptions). I love that there are books out there like this. Children need something to help them adjust and books are a great way of doing that.
Thinking about it, it might even be good for new students coming to the classroom. Bringing in new people can always be difficult on a child.

That's awesome that you're planning on reading it with several children! I agree this works with families and with new students coming into the classroom.AlwaysWorthIt wrote:Absolutely. I plan to adopt multiple children and this book seems like a great book for a child to read.

Good point about Bamma's role in this read. It's definitely one that may bother those girls who want more in life.gaporter wrote:There are only a few children in my family right now, and I don't think I'd read this book with them. Honestly, these little girls would likely be put off by the fact that Bamma "busied herself in the house." It's a bit old fashioned.

I agree with this. I would also read it with preschoolers and a little bit older, focusing on the theme of kindness and acceptance.Amagine wrote:I teach toddlers and this book is probably a little too long for them. If I taught preschool than yes, it would be a great book to read because we can discuss all the different themes and messages of the book. I would especially read it if I was focusing on the theme of kindness.

That part bothered me as well. I understand that they worked on a farm and that she is shown working outside/in the barn in a couple of pictures, but it was very gender divided.gaporter wrote:There are only a few children in my family right now, and I don't think I'd read this book with them.

I read the book to my sister. She seemed to like it, but I think that she wanted to hear more in the ending. She seemed to be disappointed when there weren't any pages left to read.

That's a great activity that you could do with your sons! I'm sure they would enjoy role playing different animals!Marika Tabone wrote:I would love to read this book with my two sons. My eldest is an animal lover. He would surely enjoy this book. It would be a good opportunity for them to learn more about kindness and tolerance. We could even act it out. We love role playing.
