Out of our stack of picture books this week, this one was one of my favorites!
The boys thought the book was broken/wrecked since the illustrations have a crackle affect!! (crackle varnish)
A boy begins his day searching for the perfect gift for his Mama's birthday. Each time he selects an item another person begs to trade him since the person disparately needs it. When the reader begins to sigh with relief that he finally has his gift, a sobbing girl arrives on the scene and the reader can predict what the kind boy will do.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: predicting, inferring, character traits, vocabulary expansion
