In One Large Peanut Butter Sandwich to Go, Linda Derkez has written a
book parents and teachers will happily appreciate. Scotty has a bad habit of walking around with
his food and leaving crumbs everywhere. Mom
wants to teach him it’s best to eat at the table, and tries a new strategy. When he asks if he can walk with his peanut
butter sandwich, she asks him where he’ll take it. Then she conjures up images of every person along
the way wanting a bite of Scotty’s sandwich.
He finally decides to eat it at the table -- so he can have it all to
himself.
David Fielding’s art
illustrates Linda Derkez’s story in an appealing “crayon” style that children
will love. Scotty’s crumb-spilling days
end because of Mom’s clever “what if” suggestions to change his behavior. Paired with David Fielding’s vibrant
pictures, we see what Scotty imagines will happen when he walks his sandwich to
Dad’s clinic.
This is a fun story that kids
will want to see and hear again and again.
The lesson Mom wants to teach Scotty will come across loud and
clear. Thanks to Linda Derkez and David Fielding
for a fun and colorful story.

Getting the attention of the student for a long time is not possible now a days. So we must have san activity based learning. Books like this helps us to teach in a fun loving way. Thank yoou for sharing such aa good idea with all.
