This book is about max and molly who are very hungry, however when they get to a town all of the people hide their food. Max and molly get the idea to tell he townspeople about stone soup and ask for help to make it. It turns out the townspeople put their own food and ingredients into the soup without realizing it. They all eat and dance the night away. I would use this book to go along with a creativity themed lesson. I would use this for any grade honestly, I would be the one reading it to them so it would be okay for younger grades. It is leveled 340 L.
This book is all about the Bear Family who forgot their manners one afternoon. Mama bear created a family politeness plan and made everyone follow along. They realized things went better when everyone minded their manners. This would be great for the middle of the year "blues" or just one day when the class needed to be reminded to use their manners. A class politeness plan would be great to follow this activity up with. I would use this for third grade. It is leveled 620 L.
