Welcome to: A Book or Two: Children's Literature Reviews, a blog site that offers information on new, classic, and favorite children's literature, reviewed by university professors, classroom teachers, librarians, and those studying to become teachers. We hope you will find "just the right book" to share with others. Our goal is to keep the site updated with information about children's authors, book awards, and new releases. Each entry will include the book cover picture, a brief overview, bibliographic information, and suggested uses for families, librarians, and teachers. We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

I am Too Absolutely Small for School


Author/Illustrator: Lauren Child
Publisher: Candlewick
Publication Date: 2004
Genre: Fictional Picture Book
Grade Level: 2nd Grade
Brief Overview: Lola gives every excuse why she is not ready for school, while her brother, Charlie, tries to convince her why school is important.
Activity Level: 5th Grade
Integrated Activity: Students will write a letter to themselves stating why they think their education is important and what they think they will do with it in the future (i.e. We learned how to count money. In the future, I will know how to buy groceries/I will be a banker). They can also write other goals they have for their future selves.
