SAVE ME A SEAT is the story of two seemingly different boys - one Indian, one American. When Ravi’s family moves to America, he is shocked at how different things are. The things he liked about himself seem to neither impress nor be appreciated by his American classmates and teachers. Joe is a quiet, sensitive American who is regularly bullied by his classmates. The story follows both boys as they find a way to a solid friendship despite their differences. With a major focus on bullying, culture, food and respecting differences, SAVE ME A SEAT is delightful, funny and inspiring. Love That Dog seems to emulate all the negative feelings about poetry that my students have expressed EVERY YEAR. As the main character gets more immersed in poetry and positive feedback on his writing, the more he learns to enjoy poetry — an outcome I am hoping my students will have too! There is a lot that could be discussed with this book (character development, imagery, form) and I think it would be a great book to start out a poetry unit. Help me teach my students that poetry can be enjoyable and that understanding the perspective of others is as important as defending our own.
