Ik wil een leguaan - Hardcover

The hardcover binding is sturdy enough to survive my son's nightly readings, and the note-exchange format actually got him excited about writing his own persuasive letters. We've already read it three times this week.

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.
