Ferrell, Sean The Snurtch, illustrated by Charles
Santoso. PICTURE BOOK. Antheneum (Simon
& Schuster), 2016 $17.99.
Ruthie's got a problem. There is a Snurtch that keeps getting her
into trouble at school. It throws
pencils, makes rude noises, and forgets questions. It even tears up others drawings in art
class. Ruthie, decides she has got to do
something about the Snurtch. She focuses
really hard and begins to draw the Snurtch.
She even shares her drawing with the class so they can see the Snurtch
too. Then very bravely, Ruthie apologizes for her bad behavior and tries to do
better at controlling her inner Snurtch.
This is a great story for teaching children about appropriate behavior
in school. When Ruthie realizes all the
children in her class have a Snurtch of their
own that they struggle with, it lets her know she is not alone. Children will love the illustrations and the
book will spark a great discussion about good behavior strategies for being
successful in school.
