Cause and Effect; writing prompts

My students loved this book. Not only were my students able to make predictions, but they were able to create funny predictions that were more elaborate than the story provided. They loved making their own cause/effect book. It was a great way to teach the concept, read fun literature that connected to their lives, and try a different type of writing. They loved sharing their books they created.

Superb

A wonderful book to use as a Read Aloud to teach the concept/meaning of "fortunately" and "unfortunately". Lovely colorful illustrations, a fun twist at the end that kids will love. A lively, clever picture book, a must have for every elementary library in my opinion.

Ageless, timeless, classic adventure!

I remember this book from the dentist's office as a child and rediscovered it as a teacher. I have used it at the beginning of the year in all grades Kindergarten through fourth grade and they ALL love it. For the little ones they just want to hear it over and over and even memorize what happens next. Also, they love the sharks, tigers, and especially the haystack with the pitchfork. Third graders rewrite and illustrate their own versions. I read this to my neice, and by age three "fortunately" was one of her favorite words! I am getting ready to start reading it to my two year old and I am preparing for MANY, MANY, repetitious reads!

my son insisted we read it five times in a row

I bought this book for my son's fourth birthday. We sat down to read it at bedtime, and he was completely riveted. When we finished, he said "read it again, Mommy." We went through this four more times, then I had to promise we'd read it again the next day in order to get him to go to sleep.

The story is gripping, and the artwork is amazing. Switching between color and black/white for the fortunately/unfortunately pages is a stroke of genius. My son has flipped through these pages on his own, staring at the pictures and telling himself the story. Wonderful book.

mostly lived up to the hype

I read a rave review of this book and sometimes it is really hard to live up to that kind of advance notice. It is a small book and it has some big ideas and it tells it's story economically. I am planning on giving it to my nephew who, I am certain, will enjoy what it has to say.

Fortunately, Ned was invited to a surprise party.

Unfortunately, the party was a thousand miles away.

Fortunately, a friend loaned Ned an airplane.

Unfortunately, the motor exploded.

Fortunately, there was a parachute in the airplane.

Unfortunately, there was a hole in the parachute.

What else could go wrong as Ned tries to get to the party? Readers will cheer as Ned's luck turns from good to bad to good again, while clever illustrations tell the story of his wacky adventure and narrow escapes.
