Teacher Comments: 

"This books has many stories. Each of them can be read individually to target different skills. All the stories have the common theme of tricking someone by laying which can be used to support social emotional learning. The stories, especially the 1st one can be used as a mentor text to teach how to use dialogue, the use of different point of views, and other 2nd grade skills."
