Have you ever felt like nobody cares about you or that you are invisible? That's exactly how Mr. Hatch felt in "Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch" by Eileen Spinelli. Living day by day, Mr Hatch does the same thing and is always alone, until some one writes a letter that changes everything!
Not only is the story absolutely beautiful, the pictures, by Paul Yalowitz, are so unique and interesting that this book will be one that you and your kiddos will love to read any day of the year. Of course, it's a great book for Valentines Day, but I used it for a lesson during my undergrad and the students loved it.
Teachers: I used it for a "Making and Inference" lesson and the students loved the story and also were able to make an inference without any trouble. We even had a great conversation about it afterwards about friendship and accepting people for who they are!
Moms: Like I said before, this book is wonderful! Perfect for bedtime or morning time or lunch time or ... well... anytime!
At Barnes and Noble has it for $7.61 paperback and Amazon has it for $5.98 in paperback 'good' condition! Because this book is a little bit older, I'm sure it's at your local library. Go and check it out!
Now, go and READ!!
