Fiction

Pinky, Rex and Amanda are going to the museum. Pinky has 27 stuffed animals, Rex has 27 dinosaurs and Amanda has 13 stuffed animals. The three children find themselves in a dilemma when all three have their eyes set on the same stuffed pink dinosaur at the museum gift shop. How will they solve the problem?

This book is a simple story but I think it can be used to promote critical thinking. How do you solve this problem fairly? The three come to a decision they all feel is fair but I think this book would be great at looking at alternative ways to deal with the problem. The book is also a wonderful anti-bias book. Pinky is a boy who loves pink and stuffed animals and Rex is a girl who loves dinosaurs, Amanda is the pesty little sister, I think having books around that are anti-bias is essential when building a good collection of children's literature for a classroom library. ( )

This book is about an fun trip to the museum.
I would use this in a classroom to talk about museums or even before going on a field trip.
This is definitely for a younger age group as a read aloud, about 1st to 3rd grade.

A boy's mind for his sister and his friend is pretty well revealed.
