I enjoyed this one a lot more than I thought I would. It's charming and clever and ocassionally humorous, a sort of picture book version of "A Room of One's Own."
Some days you just need your own country. But this is not something to be taken lightly. You need rules and a flag and national treasures and lots of other stuff. This is a fun book about a little girl who just gets fed up and strikes out on her own in her own country (Roomania). I loved all the rules she creates. This might be a good starting point for talking about what makes a country.
Great book for teaching national symbols, labeling, CultureGrams and other Social Studies databases, and persuasive texts!
Cute. Reminds me a bit of [b:How to Be a Baby by Me the Big Sister|868899|How to Be a Baby . . . by Me, the Big Sister|Sally Lloyd-Jones|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320401693s/868899.jpg|854285] in that it is a child explaining how things work.
This was a fun read...I love My Roomania as a title for her new country. :-)
What a fabulous way to introduce the basics of government to younger children! After reading this you could have kids think of their own countries and laws. Also good for having kids make inferences - ask them why the girl wants to create her own country in the first place.
Great child point of view but could be used in a government class as well.
Anyone that has a younger sibling can relate to this picture book. It was an easy read with enjoyable illustrations. It would work perfectly in a class where they are developing their own countries. The book had clear visuals of how to make your own flag, currency and law.
