It is a picture book, which signals that it can be used with early elementary-aged children, but, given some of the content, it needs an adult to mediate/explain some of that content.<br /><br />But I also think it is a terrific book to use with upper elem children, too. And obviously, with adults.Debbie Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972409006633565859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-80246923512156965892010-04-08T19:43:52.940-05:002010-04-08T19:43:52.940-05:00Along with the other bloggers, I look forward to r...Along with the other bloggers, I look forward to reading the book as well. A good friend of mine is a 1st grade teacher and she often asks me for my input on books to read, or if I have any interesting news to pass along (I’m a certified Library Media Specialist K-12). I will definitely pass this book title along to her. Only question: what is the appropriate grade level?<br />Although I have no children, I like to keep a small stash of books for visiting children to “read”, and this book will make it into my small stash of books. I enjoy books that deal with large extended families (which this appears to have) and the interplay with grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc. I often refer to titles that I really like as “delicious”. This appears to be an upcoming “delicious” book!lamoziejkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288674487137672521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27760240.post-47992513064956228242010-04-06T05:15:34.855-05:002010-04-06T05:15:34.855-05:00After reading your post I'm looking forward to...After reading your post I'm looking forward to reading SALTYPIE for myself. A major difficulty any teacher has in sharing various culture-related literature is knowing what is an accurate portrayal from that culture. Without adequate background information one relies heavily on the material available - and that is the crux of the matter. What is readily available may not be accurate at all but one does not necessarily know that. Most of the time the assumption is made that the book in hand is an accurate account because it has, after all, survived the publishing industry's gauntlet and is now on the shelf. Even known fictional accounts are assumed to be somewhat accurate though the reader may well understand that they have been written in such a way as to enhance dramatic effect. Your posts stimulate some careful rethinking on my part and I am grateful to have my eyes opened in this way.
