Response/Rating: 4, the sky in this book was breath taking! The story line was very well written and illustrated the responsibilities and hard work. It is nice to read a book that instills good work ethics in children, but doesn’t include complaining. It is mainly the pictures the I enjoyed from this book, and that the dog joined the boy in his tasks-just as mine does with me!
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you have chores?
