1st Grade Class

I read this book to my child's first grade class. The children were very enthusiastic. They very much enjoyed the illustrations and the resolution of the conflict generated by the greed of the two competing kings.

THE BIGGER THE BETTER! OR NOT...

This funny little tale begins with the artistry of Giselle, a potter who lives between two kingdoms, each ruled by a larger than life brother. Competition to own the biggest pot in town places Giselle in an impossible situation, but one that she has to find a way out of. This is an easy to read simple story that shows the pointlessness of greed. Easy to read, fun illustrations, and great to generate a not-too-heavy discussion, but important view on sibling rivalry. I liked this book.
