Hello Bloggie Fans,
I apologize for my lack of blogs, however, I plan to try and keep up with them as time permits. The book that I choose is by Jennifer Fosberry. It deals with the concept of "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I particularly selected this book, because today was my first day of Student Teaching, and when I grew up it was my dream to be a teacher:) It is fun to see those dreams come full circle. I love this 
book from the story to the illustrations and to the resource tidbits at the back of the book. The neat this is that this book has a complimentary entitled My Name is Not Alexander. From teachers to moms this is a fun book to introduce to your students/children. As a mom you could take their picture every year -on the first day of school with a chalk board that says the date, grade, and what they want to be. It will be fun to watch their ideas change. In the classroom you can do the same concept, but maybe have them write or draw the idea -save the paper. Then on their graduation have it framed for them. Once again I will put a link on the bottom of the page for reviews and possible ideas for this book. So without further ado I give you "My Name is Not Isabella."

"Good morning, Isabella" the mother said. "It's time to get up and out of bed." "My name is not Isabella!" said the little girl. "Then who has been sleeping in my daughter's bed?"asked the mother. " I am Sally the greatest, toughest astronaut who ever was!" (Fosberry, 1-2) As you can see this book deals with a mother and a daughter. The conversation follows this same dialogue pattern though out the book, only every page she is someone new. The characters she becomes are after famous women, and at the end of the book they supply a short bio for each person mentioned. This book is adorable , excellent for all ages and can be used as an excellent first day of school opener. I haven't read the companion, but I highly recommend it. The illustrations are fabulous, and your kids/students will love it.
*Enjoy the rest of your coffee, and let me know how the book is.
