“Brian is just your average boy but by the end of this book learns much about himself and becomes a strong independent man. Brian's parents were getting a divorce. His father did not know why but Brian did. Brian knew "the secret". He saw his mom in a car with a man and she kissed him. Brian never had enough courage to tell his father this. One day Brian's mom was taking him to a plane so he could fly to see his father. Before leaving she gave him a gift which was a hatchet. The plane that Brian was flying on was a tiny plane. It was just him and the pilot. Eventually the pilot has a heart attack and dies and Brian has to take over the plane. He ends up crashing the plane into a lake but survives. He then has to learn how to survive in the woods. He makes a shelter, hunts for foods, and learns much about himself during this time. He never knew what he would ever do witht the hatchet his mother gave him. He became very grateful that he had the hatchet with him. After months of being alone Brian is found by another Pilot.

I do not think I read this book growing up but I am glad that I read it now. This book would probably be best for children who are older. It would be good for them to see that we take many things for granted and sometimes we have to learn how to do things for ourselves.

I could have my students write a story of what they would do if they would have been in Brian's position. It is also a good story to read if you are talking about divorce. It may open the door for students to shrae their thoughts and feelings about divorce. ”

“This book is all about opposites but they all have to deal with the earth. For instance on one page it says winter on the next page it says summer. On another page it says stormy and on the next page it says quiet.

Each page only contains one word. This book would be great for students...”

“This book is all about opposites but they all have to deal with the earth. For instance on one page it says winter on the next page it says summer. On another page it says stormy and on the next page it says quiet.

Each page only contains one word. This book would be great for students who are on a lower reading level. It is also a great way to teach kids opposite words. A teacher could read this when they are on an earth unit. The class could go outside and observe the weather. Is it wet, dry, windy, cold, sunny etc. Then they could go back in and write in their journals or draw a picture of what they observed. ”

“This book is all about polar bears. It is a very simple book that would be great for young readers. Each page is filled with a fun fact such as hair on the bottoms of polar bear's paws helps to keep their paws warm.

A teacher could read this to a class when they are talking about animals. This particular book would be great for younger kids who are begninning to read. It would be fun to be able to go on a field trip to see animals such as the polar bear. ”
