Although this book has just two words, my eight year old and five year old both reread this book on separate occasions.
A boy is enthralled with watching television. A gorilla throughout the story tries to engage the boy in reading books by saying "Look!" in which the boy replies often "out!".
It amazed how many different ways the words "look" and "out" can be used to create a solid story! The book's message is one, unfortunately, many children need to hear in this screen addicted world.
I would utilize this book when teaching how to read for expression and how one must THINK about the story and its events to read it properly.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: reading for expression/fluency, author's message, main idea
