Genre: Traditional Literature Format: Fiction
Summary: Floyd Stokes takes the original story and adds a reading spin. He story is about a boy cries wolf because he ran out of books to read and was bored. Of course the villagers come to help the boy only to find out that there was no wolf. He then receives book from a villager and starts to read them. He tries this one more time and the same thing happens. Would the villagers come if he tries it a third time?
Personal response: I love Floyd Stokes version of this Aesop's fable. It teaches the same lesson but also gives it a "superreader" spin. Floyd takes his passion for reading and relays it to all who read this book. I think we can all relate this book to a lesson we have learned.
Classroom connections: I would use this book in my classroom when we are discussing lessons that we can learn. I would use several of the Reading Tips found at http://www.superreader.org/reading-tips
to help me become a better reader for the students. After reading the story, I would have students share the experiences they have had and what they learned from them.
