Curriculum Connections: (These standards are simply the ones I found right off as some I may use for a lesson with the book listed.  I in no way am trying to state these are the only standards that fit this book.)

CCSS

RL.3.1- RL.3.4

W.3.1

Reading:

I would probably use this in guided reading groups more so than a read aloud.  Either way it would be very affective.

 Writing and Speaking:

The students would write a reflection each week on the part of the story we covered.  The students will write a story using photostory about their pet or their dream pet.
