Reviews

[Maizie Frank · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was definitely not one that I would use in the classroom, as I intend to work at a public school, and this was very centered around God. I would potentially have this one in a classroom library among other religious books of other cultures, with it for students to explore if they would like but this definitely is not one I would read aloud or do an activity with.
