I think it would provoke discussions about what some of our students have read that they don't have personal knowledge of - maybe we could even try to introduce them in some way, through pen pals, research. . . What an idea to introduce them to something outside of their own "world"! This sounds like a great book.

Allow the characters to reveal how they solved the problem and what they discovered. A book a child should read to learn how important reading and school is to achieve their goals, and a book for writers to study how the author allowed the character to solve the problem.

It also reaches across cultures which is particularly pertinent in our world. Thanks for sharing it! Margo,
