Title: A Giant Crush
Author: Ginnifer Choldenko

Publisher: G.P. Putnam’s Sons (Penguin Group)
Possible Theme: Valentine’s Day, Crushes, Love
Personal Response: A Giant
Crush tells the story of a
schoolyard crush from a boy’s perspective. This book is fitting to start a
conversation about shyness or just as some Valentine reading fun. The boy’s
perspective really lends itself well for the boys in your class to talk about
their own feelings (or they might just restate that girls are gross). Either
way we have all had a crush at sometime and the book has a classic happy
ending.
Student Journal Entry: If your friend had a secret crush why might you
feel left out? What could you do to help your friend get the courage to tell
their feelings?
Activity: Draw a few big yellow flowers. Under each flower write a reasons
why you are special.
