Summary of the book:
This is a story about two unseen characters trying to convince the other one of the creatures in the book- is it a duck or a rabbit? Throughout the book you wonder could it be either. By the time the characters started to see the other’s view of what they saw, the duck or rabbit runs away and they see an anteater. Or is it a brachiosaurus?
This would be a great book for kindergarten through grade 2. I would use this book with my students, when teaching a lesson on disagreements. The book discusses how points of view can differ and still be right. In teaching the lesson we can talk about how we all see things differently.
