I used this book to introduce opinion writing and my students loved it. They were able to find opinions, discuss as a class what opinions are and this helped them in their writing. Very kid relatable

Great book, easy to understand, and fits perfectly with what we need to teach! It was a great companion to Hey, Little Ant.

Great book to help my kindergarteners understand what an opinion is. I used this to help launch my opinion writing unit.

This book is the perfect book to kick off the Lucy Calkins Opinion unit. It's adorable! I also like the simplicity of the book and that it can be quickly read over and over. Great mentor text!

Good book but a bit pricey for such a short read.

Great to teach kids how to articulate their opinion.

Great intro for teaching Opinion Writing!
