This girl is really passionate about earrings. ( )

Another great book I am excited about! Excited to use this for persuasive writing in second grade. I have always loved Judith's work with Alexander, so I'm so happy to have found another one of her sassy characters! ( )

Summary:
This story is about a girl who is really excited to get her ears pierced so she can wear earrings. She tries to get her parents to say yes by saying she will do all these extra chores. She knows her parents are sick of hearing her ask but she says she will stop as soon as they decide she is old enough.

Personal Reaction:
This story surprised me by how good it was. I was nervous that since I'm a guy that I wouldn't be able to relate but after reading it, I can always relate to begging my parents for things growing up and trying to compromise.

Classroom Extension:
1. This could be a good lesson about working hard for the things you want.
2. This is a good lesson to show how to properly display how badly you want something.

This book helps demonstrate the process of persuasion. A little girl wants earrings SO badly, and tells her parents what she will do to get them and what she will do when she gets them. This is a great book to tell how to write a persuasion paper also.

All she wanted was some earrings. Great book for kids to relate to when they want something, lots of repetitiveness for children. Just a cute story. ( )
