BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
Ruby wants to come up with something fun to do on a windy day, but her brothers have run off to do their own thing. As each of their projects is destroyed by the wind, Ruby finally hits upon her idea - creating something they can all share and that the wind can actually help along.
Maier makes a big deal out of mentioning that her story was inspired by The Little Pigs - something no one would have noticed if she hadn’t mentioned it. Ruby seems smug to me - waiting for her brothers to fail before she can swoop in and make something that will last.
