Squids will be Squids (Choice)

This book by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith is a book of "Fresh Morals and Beastly Fables." Centered around traditional Aesop fables, with a dark twist. The book is compiled of 18 fables with morals. they are creatively constructed in a dark manor to entice young readers. The fables, however dark, all do share a common theme of a moral at the end of each story. Morals range from "never listen to a talking bug" to "whoever smelt it dealt it." they are quick easy stories that entertain readers with humorous stories.

I would use this book in the classroom as a way of exposing my students to different types of story writing. Fables are a great type of literature for students to read and become familiar with. I would ask my students to write their own fables, a project that I myself remember doing when I was in third grade.
