Parsley, Elise. If You
Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don’t! New York: Little, Brown
and Company, 2015.
This funny book is about a girl, Magnolia, who brings an alligator to
school for show and tell and lots of things do not go as planned. The
alligator draws pictures of himself eating a kid and shows it to someone. He
makes lots of origami too. Magnolia learns a valuable lesson that day!
This is a perfect book for teaching your students how to read with expression! You could use it to teach them how to write with proper punctuation too. It would be great for persuasive writing! This book would never get old to use during your animal units!

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book perfect for third graders! Reading with expression and using punctuation in writing are two things we really focus on, as you would all know. Also, I always love a humorous persuasive book to share with my students. Thank you for sharing your recommendation. -Mrs. Buchman
