Poses questions for pondering

Kindergarten- used with series of Dr. Suess books.

Although this is not my favorite Theo LeSieg (Dr. Seuss), I think it would make a fun addition to a pre-k - 1st grade classroom. It asks the reader to think about if they could be one thing or another, which would you rather. It is a good book to use in talking about comparisons as well as in the end it is best to just be yourself. ( )

Would you rather be a clarinet . . . a trombone . . . or a drum? (How would you like to have someone going boom-boom on your tum?) Beginning readers are asked to ponder these–and a host of other odd choices–in this charming, provocative book by Dr. Seuss that encourages children to let their imaginations fly.

Summary: Narrator asks the reader which it would like to be. The story goes through many different things, makes reader think about differences in objects.

Genre: poetry
