Dogs Don't Wear Sneakers
By: Laura Numeroff
This book is a fantasy book. It mentions every animal that a child would don't. It is definitely one that would be used in the primary classes. All the book was about was the animals doing things that they usually wouldn't do, Things such as "pigs don't wear hats"and "sheep don't take showers." It goes through all the animals doing things that are out of their norm. I think this will help kids because they can, first of all pick up the rhyming in the book. The illustrations in the book are good and add so much to the story line They are very kids friendly. At the end of the book it says "But tell me what you see? Its your dream- not mine"...so the author leaves it open for kids to use their imagination.
I think that a good activity can come out of this. Kids can draw and come up with what they see all these different animals doing.It can either be their imagination like the book did or it can be things that they see the animals do all the time. The book was a cute one, i just pulled it from my shelf and i loved how the author left it open for the kids to use their imaginations.
My mom has this book in her kindergarten class and the kids get a kick out of it. Its a humorous story. It would be a great read for just simple story time. When I read this book, nothing somes to mind about how it could be used otherwise in the classroom because it's kind of a random story but I like the activity you came up with. It is definitley a great read for the imagination.

I've never heard of this book before. It sounded cute when you talked about it in our book talk. Maybe you could relay to your students that you don't always have to write about real things. It could also introduce the fiction genre. Good Job!
