I'll admit that I wasn't exactly thrilled about this colorful picture book on first read. However, I did find it exceedingly entertaining, engaging, and thought provoking. My kindergarteners reactions where the clincher though.
"It's ok to be large"
"He's fat!"
"It's ok to be missing a tooth (or two or three)"
"I haven't lost any teeth. I'm so mad."
"It's ok to have different nose."
"Ewww!!!"
Now, doesn't this sound like a good time for a discussion on appreciating differences?
