I did my book talk on Monkey and Me by Emily Gravett
This book is about a little girl and her toy monkey. Throughout the book they use their imagination and pretend they are at the zoo looking at animals. It is very short and only talks about the girl and her monkey "going to see" animals.
This book is very short. I see it as more of a picture book than a story. For this reason I think it would be great to introduce to beginner readers, or even readers who are a little slower to help encourage them. Especially because it has a lot of repeating words.
Reading this book as an only child I felt that I could really connect with it. Since I had no siblings, I usually played alone and relied on my imagination to get me places.
Overall i really liked the book besides the fact that it had very little content.
