Book Description: I think many of us can relate to the two best friends in this book. I know as a little girl my best friend and I always wanted to do everything alike. We even dressed alike. It is a good book for children to see how the characters resolved their differences and found a way to be different and remain best friends.
Integrated Activity: (2nd grade) Students will learn vocabulary words that were modeled in the story such as, acceptance. In groups students will define a word, tell the class how it was modeled in the book, and write at least one way we could practice the behavior in our everyday lives. For example, the word acceptance. Ask the students why is it important to accept our classmates? Are we all the same or different? Is it okay to be different?
