Saturday's Alexander


Here's a great book by Jennifer Fosberry with pictures by Mike Litwin. It's a fantastic book, quite frankly, because it presents a possibility for great teachable moments.

The little boy keeps telling his dad that he is any number of wonderful heroes. These heroes present all kinds of teaching possibilities for the modern classroom. They present homework, independent study, and a lot of fun for the class.

I plan to use this book this summer with my fifty little kids and budding readers. Hopefully, the children will like what they find when they investigate people like Theodore Roosevelt, and Thomas Edison, and Chief Joseph. There are lots more.

It's a book every home needs. It's available through Amazon.
