Evaluation: 

Appropriate grade levels for this book would be Kindergarten to 3^rd grade. I would not necessarily use this book for instruction purposes, but I can probably use it for read alouds between transition of activities. Since this book is related to more of a personal theme, I would want to do at least a fun read aloud because you never know if a student might be going through this situation.
