All By Myself

All By Myself is from the collection of short stories titled, The Critters. It is about how the main character is growing up and is now about to do simple tasks on his own. Many of them include getting out of bed, brushing his teeth, getting dressed, and eating breakfast. His parents also start trusting him to help out with his sister, like watching her when they go outside to play. He help his dad trim a brush and help his mom bake a cake. He then discovers that he still needs help tucking himself in at night and someone to read him a story. When I was young I read all of The Critter stories and I really enjoyed them and learned a lot. I think that this book would be really beneficial to kindergarteners sometime during their first week because they are starting school and a new phase in their life. It would show them all the things that they could do. Other than kindergarteners I don't think other grades would be able to use this book.
