Author: Keiko Kasza was born on a small island Inland Sea of Japan. In 1973 she came over to the United States to continue her education. In 1976 she graduated from California State University at Northridge with a bachelor's degree in graphic arts.
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile (2005)
Genre: Fiction
Grade Level: 1-4
Brief Synopsis: This is a story about a little girl and a dog. The little girl reads a story about a wolf to the dog. When the little girl finishes with the story the dog wants to try and become a wolf. The dog decides to run away and be a wolf. He did not like being a wolf at all and he missed the little girl. He decided to go back home and when the dog saw the little girl they both were so happy!
Theme/Skill: Running away from your problems does not make things better/ Language Arts/Problem solving
Pre-activity: Have the students brainstorm what they think the story is about by just seeing the cover of the book. I will list their ideas on the board.
Post-activity: After we read the book as a class we will go through the list we brainstormed before we read the book. By using a venn diagram we will compare and contrast what the story was really about, to our list of what we thought the story was going to be about. Comparing and contrasting the two.
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
I think this is a great book for students to realize that by walking away from a situation it does not always make it better in the end. It also shows the students that sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Overall, I think this is a great book to read to students! I enjoy reading it everytime I get a chance too!
