“Although I expected the children to like the book, I was unprepared for the level of their excitement. After I shared the book with a small group, I added it to a collection of books available for independent reading. The book was so popular, I had to draw straws each session to see who would get the book. Although only one name was chosen each of the five days I used the book, the “winning” student invariably collected a crowd of admirers as the book was shared again and again.”
