The English Roses by Madonna I read this book during the first couple days of school. It really gets the kids thinking about how they shouldn't judge others without giving them a fair chance. It also teaches them that the grass is not always greener on the other side. It is a sweet story about a group of "popular" girls who are jealous of Binah, a not so popular, but beautiful girl. Through a dream, they get a glimpse into what her life is really like and change their opinion of her. The pictures are also great! The kids really seem to hook onto this story and continue to read it on their own throughout the year during independent reading time. ~Desiree' Caldwell
