If you are looking for a simple, follow along read, this would be a great book for that. Maybe even if you are teaching sequence of events. I do not feel like this book is the most entertaining/engaging book but a cute simple read nonetheless.

A mom and daughter build a dog house together.
November 1, 2016
This was a simple and to the point read. I would enjoy this book with opportunities to engage children to work together and try to extend a home conversation. However, this story implements an African American Female doing a job that society deems a Male would normally do. Building a doghouse with their child. Yes, why not mom? It is pertinent that our children see their moms and females sawing, building, nailing, and being able to show
a child the process of building the doghouse for the family dog. After the read I would have the children to pair up and play either role of building the doghouse. Allowing students to stage their own teamwork process in building the doghouse. I would also have a Wear your Overalls Day! We would read and have open discussion about Harry's House. Then afterwards I would have a spread of art and crafts available for the students consisting of: colored construction paper, Cardboard, clay, Popsicle sticks, wix sticks, felt, glue, colored paint, markers, crayons, and scissors. This could be 1 or 2 day project, students acting out sawing, and pretending to hammer nails. Conversating about the safety aspects of using tools. Then to allow the pairs to create one doghouse in one role, then switching roles and creating another one, allowing each student to take home a doghouse. I would also give each child and opportunity to present large group the hows, and whys throughout the segments of their project. Parents can participate at home, creating table talk discussions. Talking about teamwork and how to create a safe environment while using sharp tools could be taught in October which is Safety Month.
