Gobble, Gobble, Slip, Slop: A Tale of a Very Greedy… door Meilo So

This is a retelling of an Indian folk tale about a greedy car that eventually bit off more than it could chew. After eating multiple people, his best friend parrot and an elephant the cat was done in by two crabs that cut a hole in his belly. The message about not being greedy and his friends kind heart even after being eaten are great lessons to be learned for children. The illustrations are well done and the painted style is bold with many bright colors.

My Mom Is a Foreigner, But Not to Me door Julianne Moore

This book discusses kids whose parents are immigrants to a new country. IT focuses in on how these moms may do things a bit different than everybody else. The book discusses how these mothers wear different clothes, talk differently, and may cook different foods than everybody else around them. The book also shows the beauty in it. It discusses while the mothers may do things differently, there is something beautiful in continuing the traditions of your heritage even if you are living somewhere else. One of the bigger ideas is even if your parent is from a foreign country and may not be quickly adjusting to a new culture, your parent is still you mom or dad, and they care for you.

The book had wonderful illustrations that depicted multiple cultures. The book also was told by rhyme, and gave the story a nice beat! This would be a good book to share in a classroom, as it promotes different cultures and assures children of different backgrounds to be proud of the families heritage.… (meer)

Throughout the book, the cat decides he can eat anyone or anything that crosses him. The last thing the greedy cat eats is two crabs and that is his undoing. The crabs cut a hole into his belly and let everyone out. Even though he betrayed the parrot, the parrot was a good friend and sewed up his belly. The greedy cat promised never to be so greedy again. This book reminded me of one of my favorite childhood books, "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly!" This fable shows how greed can… (meer)
