This book is one that I had never heard of before. After reading it, it’s one that I must purchase and put in my classroom library. I really like it because it discuss that we all are different and sometimes we think we’re better than others because of what school we go to, or because of our sex, or because of our religion or because of our skin color. In the book it finally reveals that if you take your finger and press under your eye, you will feel a hard bone. If you ask someone else if you can press under their eye you will also find a bone. The moral of the story is that if everyone were to take off their skin, we would all look the same!!
What a great book to read at the beginning of the school year to let children know that everyone is different but yet the same! I really enjoyed reading this book.
