I chose this
book because I thought the cover looked very interesting. In the book, Coco the
dog and Elise the baby go everywhere mom goes for the day. Coco has a playful
day following mom and Elise around. At the end of the day Coco is tired and
wants to rest, but Elise wants to play.
The
illustrations in this book are created with watercolors and pencils. The
illustrations in the book are very basic. The pictures are full page pictures.
The pictures in this book have a good many details and are very creative.
This book would
be great for beginning readers. The book uses many high frequency words and
simple language. The teacher could also have students discuss how their day is
different from the way Elise spent her day. The teacher could also have a class
discussion about how many children have pets. After the discussion, this could
be integrated into a math problem. This book did not get any awards.
