My Lucky Day

Ok friends, have I got a book for you today!!

During my student teaching semester, I was asked to create a unit for making an inference based on a fictional text (I think I've mentioned this before). For one of the many lessons I used "My Lucy Day" by Keiko Kasza. The majority of my students had never read this book before and they were on the edge of their seats. They loved this book. They were laughing and trying to guess what was going to happen next... I then told them that was predicting ;) ... a little teacher joke there.

Anyway, "My Lucky Day" is about the relationship between a hungry fox and a clever pig. Not only is the story line hilarious, but the pictures are superb, so vibrant and life like. There are twists and turns with every turn of the page with one of the best ending I've read in a very long time. And if you don't my word for it, take a group of 24, 4th graders who adored this book.

Both Barnes and Noble and Amazon have it for about $5. With some of the other books, during my research, I've found that there are Spanish versions and "my Lucky Day" has a Spanish version as well.

Moms: This is PERFECT for bedtime. Short and sweet and to the point :)

Now, go and READ!!!!
