This Weeks Reading

This week I read a children's picture book called Little Rascal To The Rescue by Paul Jennings. This book was about a small dragon called Rascal who was excluded from the other dragons because he was a lot smaller and had smaller features than them. I believe the book illustrates a message to the young readers, which is 'the importance of including everyone'. Little Rascal To the Rescue would be a great book to incorporate in lower primary classroom, as many activities, such as getting the children to think about how they wold feel if they were Rascal, could be used to generate the students to include other peers into their groups.
The language within the book is well written for children to understand, as there is no greater than five words on each page, which are all quite simple words. However the use of illustrations help tell the story.
