Would I trade My Parents? Is a story by the author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. It is the story of a little boy who considers wanting to trade his parents because his friends parents let them do things that he cant. His friends parents let them camp under the stars, drink chocolate milk before dinner, and have pets. He realizes in the end that his parents let him do fun things that his friends do not and that his parents are the best of all and he would not trade them for the world.
This story is one that both kids and parents a like will enjoy. I really liked this story because it shows children that every family is different and just because a friends parents let them do something does not mean your parents will. It has a good message for children that their family is wonderful and different in its own way. Another great thing about this book is that it introduced a few french words and what they mean. This a nice touch of culture for students.
The illustrations in this book were another part I enjoyed. I am all about illustrations, so I always play close attention. I really enjoyed how realistic the pictures were, yet still have a nice touch of cartoon in them. They had good use of colors and were very vibrant. I would spend a lot of time looking at these pictures. I also liked the font, which is not the standard font you see in many childrens books.
This book would be great foe 1st-3rd graders. It can be good for younger kids and even enjoyable for 3rd graders. I thought this book had a nice message and would be a great addition in any classroom
