This would be a great story to use at the beginning of the year before introducing a classroom library or the first trip to the library as a class. It shows children that books allow you to use your imagination and become anyone who you want to. I know that my favorite thing about books is that they kind of take you out of your reality and into a totally different one. You could also creative an activity centering around students favorite stories that they have read or heard in the past. I also like that Isabella reads popular stories that some students may have heard or seen in a movie and can relate to. I think it is important for children to also relate to what they are reading so it can be enjoyable. I like that it makes going to the library and reading fun because many children find it to be boring.

This was a fun book. I love how it shows that books can let your imagination run wild. This is a good book to show how stories can take us on adventures. The illustrations are great in this story.
I like your idea about having an activity centered around students favorite stories! I am learning to love reading, I have to find the right genre that makes reading fun. This is something I plan to share with my students. (:

This book was such a great way to introduce children to the joy of reading, and to illustrate how reading helps to unlock our imagination. I loved how so many other characters were incorporated into the story; it made me want to learn more about each character!

I think it is so important for children to value their imagination, and to understand from an early age to cherish the ability to imagine!
