As a third grade teacher, working with my children on how to think about the choices that they make and how to “choose peace” rather than engage in fights is an extremely important element in my daily instruction. I especially liked how Andrea and Mark highlight how the book demonstrates how peace can be a choice in every situation. Although the siblings’ fights in the book are trivial, Mark points out that these conflicts are metaphors for more serious world conflicts. I think that pairing this type of text with a non-fiction text on the current situation in Iraq would be a great way to engage my students in critically discussing the elements of world conflict resolution and peace negotiations. I also love how Andrea discusses the book’s vibrant cadence and “Dr. Suessian” elements and I know that my students will enjoy this upbeat rhythm while I will enjoy the space that the book leaves for discussion.
