Rex is a tiny chameleon and livesas a class pet. Everyday someone takes him home and documents the crazy adventures he has. ( )

This is a great book for a read aloud because it gets the students involved by imagining what they would do with a class pet. The whole class gets to take home the class chameleon and then has to draw a picture or write about their adventure. They can do anything they want and so the students each week begin to tell what they do with the class pet, Rex. This is a great book to introduce when students begin writing about their pictures or using their imagination. It gets them thinking about their creative sides. Throughout the reading, you never know what the students will do and some are realistic and some are fantasy stories. Its interesting to hear what the students would do after reading the book, if they got to take the class pet home.

Cute story about a class pet. Although tiny, each of the children imagine him as giant. ( )
