First, let's talk traditional literature! I love this type of literature and love the fact this these types of stories often have a "moral" to teach children. I loved Aesop's fables as a child, and there are all types of new spins on these old "traditional" tales.
Traditional literature should be shown by reading older versions, and then afterward introducing the "newer" version of the book to the class afterward. Discussions are key, and it's important to make sure that our students are able to see how this traditional literature can help them evaluate life. I think finding creative ways for children to show the rest of the class what they were able to take away from the book is essential.

Author Profile: Laurie Miller Hornik
Two of the books that I liked are shown below.
Both of these books seem to be really great, but School Zoo sounds like a truly silly book. Desks filled with fish! This is why this book looks very enjoyable. Hornik says she wrote this book because of her son's love of animals. I really think Hornik's books look engaging and I would like for you to take some time to look at these books. Thanks!
