Baloney (Henry P.) is by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. This story is geared towards anyone at all, and I agree. This picture book is about an alien telling his story of why he is late to school this particular morning. It uses different words that we are unfamiliar with. I think this helps focus on looking at the pictures for clues and using the surrounding sentence to think of what the word could mean. This is a fun way to learn different reading strategies. Another fun thing about the words we are unfamiliar with is that they are actually words from other languages so it gives us an opportunity to compare languages and learn about other languages. The colors in this picture book are bright and eye catchy. I think this book would be very helpful to read in a classroom when discussing different reading strategies as well as maybe when students are using their imagination to write a story, when talking about space, or a just for fun read!
