Review: Great Mentor Text for Scaffolding Children on Writing About Something Important - I read this book to my children as part of an exercise on writing about something important. It was an end-of-year writing exercise and I wanted my children to write about something that was important to them this school year. My children enjoyed the book and we had a strong brainstorming session after the read-aloud and before the writing began.
Review: Philosophy through picture books - The Important book is an excellent book to use to expose children to philosophical thought and concepts. Do things have an essential property? Children as young as Pre-K can began to conceptualize everyday items, and what the most important quality of that item is. The book illustrates a number of common items such as spoons and apples, and tells the reader what makes them most important. That very concept of the author distinguishing what's important opens the door to a world of questioning, where young readers with them help of an adult, can began to question what truly is the most important quality, if any, of an apple and many other items. In the end, this can allow children to become more critical consumers of information through philosophical reasoning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Mentor Text for Scaffolding Children on Writing About Something Important
*by L***N on July 6, 2023*

I read this book to my children as part of an exercise on writing about something important. It was an end-of-year writing exercise and I wanted my children to write about something that was important to them this school year. My children enjoyed the book and we had a strong brainstorming session after the read-aloud and before the writing began.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read It Again
*by M***N on March 23, 2024*

My three year old granddaughter absolutely loves this book. As soon as I finish it, she tells me to read it again, starting with the little cricket on the page right inside the cover. I would buy this book as a gift for every three year old you know. I can only talk about three year olds, but I am sure others a little younger or older will love the book. My thirty something daughter has expressed how wonderful this book is as she hears me read it to her daughter, loving the message it gives and in the simplicity it is written. If I could give it ten stars, I would!
