The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown

3.0

---

I like the idea of using this book for what Jeff Anderson calls "sentence stalking." Give students the structure, and try their hand at their own complex sentence construction. The book itself is repetitive to the point of tedium, but that could work in a teacher's favor in getting the rhythm and structure of the model sentences in a student's head so they can create their own.
