A Different Way

My Father's Shop
Written & Illustrated by: Satomi Ichikawa
Kane/Miller Book Pub, 2006
32 pages
International Book

Mustafa loves this carpet that is in his father's shop that no one else seems to want to buy.  His father says he may have it on one condition, he had to learn different languages.  He wasn't having fun and runs off into the market with the rug over his head.  A rooster sees Mustafa and follows him through the market which results in a very fun adventure.  Mustafa returns back to his father's shop with a surprise for his father.
Will Mustafa learn different languages?
What surprise does Mustafa have for his father?

The pages are completely covered with vibrant and colorful illustrations that capture the readers eyes page after page.

I chose English as my content area and First grade as my grade.  I would use this in my class to teach the children that there are several different ways to learn languages or even just your own language.  
I would have children struggling one way of learning to read help me to help them figure out another way for them to learn to read.
