Teaching With Favorite Leo Lionni Books (Grades K-2)

Rating:
Summary: great for author studies
Review: I bought this book when taking a graduate in literacy class on childrens literature. I found this a great help as I was putting together an author study about Leo Lionni. I love Leo's work and was able to intergrate his stories with other subject areas through the use of the activities into this book. His stories teach about getting along and friendship and can aide in creating a classroom environment. If you are a k-2 teacher creating an author study, you will have more hten what you need from this book.

Summary: For parents and teachers
Review: This book has a resource of activities to help children experience and extend the stories of Leo Lionni. Initially, I bought this book because I have several Leo Lionni's books, but after reviewing this book I realize that it will be useful with other books as well. This book is an excellent book to own for teachers and parents. The activities in this book will demonstrate problem-solving, sharing, kindness, conflict resolution and generosity. Many of the activities have little or no cost, except the cost of making copies for the students. This book has given me new ideas to use in my classroom, and with my children at home. I am very pleased with this book and I am confident that this book will pay for itself after one use.
