The Bad Guys Read Alikes

By

 
Everyone love a true crime adventure. We see it in literature for all different ages and readers. The Bad Guys is a perfect example of this. Intermediate readers have fallen for these scoundrels so much that it's been made into a movie. If you loved joining Mr. Wolf, Mr. Shark, Mr. Snake and Mr. Piranha on their adventures in trying to not be bad guys, you might want to read these four books.

Painting for Peace in Ferguson

By
Painting for Peace in Ferguson By Carol Swartout Klein Treehouse Publishing Group, 2015. Nonfiction. When the city of Ferguson was overrun with so much hate and despair that homes and businesses had to be boarded up to protect property, citizens of the community decided to bring a message of hope by painting the boarded windows. Klein’s rhyming text supports the photographs of the hundreds of artists and volunteers and their artwork as they bring the messages of peace, hope, love, and that by being united they can make a difference. A great book to show children how a community rallied to make a positive change and that even a small gesture can make a huge difference. A great discussion opener on how we should treat each other.
