The Important Book…great for main idea and detail

I love using The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown in my upper grade classroom. It is such a simple book that is able to impart an easy to access message.  It also is FABULOUS for working with main idea and details.  Come on over to my blog to read about how I use the book in my room, as well as pick up a little freebie to help you do the same in your room.
