Sweet tale & gentle lesson in loving our differences.
A Very Special Critter arrived today & my daughter and I have already read it. We always enjoy the critter books but this one is going to be a favorite. There is a new student joining critter's class who arrives in a wheelchair looking very frightened. Before long critter and his friend's realize the new boy is no different than the rest of them and is good at some things (like volleyball & math) and needs help with others things just like critter (reaching high items). It's a sweet tale of accepting the differences in all of us and my daughter was riveted to the pages
My son has special needs and loves this book
My son uses a walker and a wheelchair and loves this book. He received this book for his birthday and wanted to share it with his preschool class the very next day.
A Very Special Critter
In the book called "A Very Special Critter", there is a class in which the teacher announces that a new critter coming into their classroom tomorrow. The student was very happy about it and he hoped the critter was cool. Then the student finds out from the teacher that the new critter coming can't walk, he uses a wheelchair. The student is scared, because he has never known anyone in a wheel chair before. The next day the critter came to class. This book teaches children that everyone's is the same no matter if they have a disability. I recommend this book for kids between the ages 6-8. This book is very exciting.
Equality
I found this book to be very good and interesting. This is a book about a kid that is in a wheelchair and some of the students have never been around that before. This book is about how it doesn't matter if your different, you should still be treated the same. This is a good quality for kids to learn at an early age so when they do encounter it they will know how to act.It is even hard for people my age to accept how people are.
what little kids think
The book A Very Special Critter is about a young kid that has a new critter coming to his class the book shows kids that no matter what every one wants to be treated the same and that everyone has feeling no matter what. It shows kids that no matter what some one looks like on the outside it should'nt matter it should matter whats in the inside. I also feel that this book does in a way focus on how different the new critter is. But over all i think the book is good.
