Title: Goggles
Author: Ezra Jack Keats
Publisher: The Penguin Group http://www.penguin.com/
Publication Date: 1969
Genre: Picture Book
Audience: Pre-K -2nd Grade
Overview: This is the story of two young boys that find a pair of motorcycle goggles that they quickly become fascinated with. However, these boys aren't the only ones who want to play with the goggles. The older boys in the neighborhood try to steal the magical goggles, until they are outsmarted by the young boys.
Activity: A good activity for this book would be to address the issue of bullying in the classroom, because it is good to incorporate appropriate behavior at this age and to talk about hurting others' feelings. The children could role play different scenarios about bullying and sticking up for themselves and talk about times they feel like they may have been bullied and how to stop it.
