I want to use it in combination with Dreaming Up for a bit of a "building" unit with my first and/or second grade students. <br /><br />I have read so many Polacco books, but I haven't gotten to The Bee Tree yet. I will plan on it. :)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-77807227590528315322013-08-26T11:40:53.240-06:002013-08-26T11:40:53.240-06:00Hope you can get & read the Breadwinner trilog...Hope you can get & read the Breadwinner trilogy, then My Name Is Parvana-I did enjoy them so much.

Nearly all of the picture books are still on my TBR list, but sometimes they drop off my radar. Thanks for reminding me of Andrew Drew and Drew and Building Our House. We build our house when our children were 5 and 2. It's not for the faint of heart, and we didn't live in a trailer for the duration! <br />CatherineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-53783623932885459942013-08-26T03:23:54.043-06:002013-08-26T03:23:54.043-06:00Hi there Linda, I'm always on the lookout now ...Hi there Linda, I'm always on the lookout now for picture books that I can read aloud to my set of teacher-students, I have a feeling that The Bee Tree could be just that. I've read and reviewed Helen Frost's "Hidden" and simply loved it. I shared that during our novel-in-verse theme. :) Granddad Bill's Song also sounds perfect for our current theme! :) Thanks for sharing all these, Linda. I hope you're having a great week!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.com
