Ich will ein Leguan - Hardcover

My son and I read this together and now we're writing notes back and forth all over the house. The persuasive letter format is a clever way to make the back-and-forth between Alex and his mom feel real, and the hardcover has held up through three bedtime readings already.

The note-swapping format in this hardcover is such a clever way to teach persuasive writing—my son actually asked to read it twice in one night. The back-and-forth between Alex and his mom feels genuinely funny, and it sparked a great conversation about giving reasons for what you want.

My kid and I loved the back-and-forth note format in this book—it made reading together feel like a fun debate. The persuasive writing examples are clever and actually sparked some good conversations about wants vs. needs. Definitely a smart and entertaining read for the 4-7 crowd.
