I bought this book because I recently started homeschooling my 1st grader. It was OK, but I think that it would be a lot better for a traditional classroom setting. Some of the activities were group activities, some were too difficult and some were do easy for him. I have had better luck just creating my own activities to go along with things that he reads. In my opinion, this would probably be good for a regular teacher, but it's not really suited for homeschool.

Warning! I thought I was ordering the story book which is GREAT (I got it from the library once) but this is NOT the story book "If You Give a Mouse A Cookie" and it is NOT the story book "If you Give A Moose A Muffin" - this is actually a Teacher's Guide for activities to do RELATED to the book. They should say that it is a teacher's guide in the description. I'd never heard of a 'literature unit' before. Perhaps that's a term teachers would know? Anyway, the story books are great, but this is not the story book.

Timeless, wonderful. It's the kind of book that keeps you giggling, whether you're a small child or an adult.

I especially recommend for adults to sit on the floor of a Target store and read this aloud to their friends.
