Willow Springs

Title: If You Hopped Like a Frog  

Topic: Amazing facts showing abilities of people in relation to animals. Example if a human could lift the same weight as an ant, he could lift a car.

Grades: 3-6

Comments: Students enjoyed this book and were surprised about the comparisons.

 

Title:   The Rough-Face Girl                       

Author:  Rafe Martin

Topic: Algonquin Indian tribes' version of "Cinderella"

Grades: 4-6

 Comments: As part of our "Around the World" library theme, we decided to highlight

folktales and fairy tales and told a little about how many cultures have their own versions of "Cinderella."  We used the atlas to show exactly where the Algonquin tribe lived also.
