 The Important Book June 24, 2008
Petra Siprian (Villa Park, IL United States)
The Important book can be used in numerous ways. I have used it to write about the importance of friends, the importance of different math solids, and of different community workers. The format lends itself for many different ways a teacher can reinforce different concepts.
Great Writing Lesson February 27, 2008
M. Hart (Wilmington, NC USA)
This is a wonderful book to use for a writing lesson. I used it in a 1st grade classroom. We read the book aloud and discussed the pattern the author used for each item. Then as a writing activity each student chose one person to write about. They followed the same pattern as in the book, saying that "The most important thing about ________ is..." After they finished, I had them share their completed poems with the person they wrote about. It was a very rewarding activity and the kids really loved it!
Love it & my son does too!! January 5, 2008

Didn't think my 1 1/2 year old would sit through this book but he does & he absolutely loves it. Walks around with it begging for more. The pictures are simple enough for him to observe & point things out like the apple & shoe. The simple rhyming seems to relax him. I think this one will be a long time favorite for my son & I.

I used this book in my 5th grade classroom as a get-to-know-you activity the first week of school. We read the book and then talked about the pattern that the book has for each page. Then I had them create an important book page for themselves using the pattern from the book. Later that week, I had them make an important for school based on things related to school. They put them all together for their own personal books that parents read during open house.
