Ruby the Copycat Review



Title: Ruby the Copycat
Author: Peggy Rathmann
Illustrator: Peggy Rathmann
Genre: Fiction
Publisher / Copyright Date: Scholastic Inc 1991
Pages: 28
 
 
Rating:
Early Elementary K-2. 4 (Recommend)
This book is a K-2 reading level. There are pictures on every page but the text is longer on some pages. I would give this book a four because of all the purposes it serves for children growing up and going through school. The vocabulary is challenging as well.
 
Summary:
Ruby is a little girl who is very unsure of herself. She goes to school and copies a little girl that sits  her. Everything the little girls says,she says it. One day she went home and made an outfit that looks exactly like the little girls. The teacher figured out what was going on and told Ruby that its important that she is okay with being herself because she was perfect the way she was.

Educational Purpose: This book teaches students that its important to be yourself. Copying other people may make others mad and you don't want to be like that person because you are you for a reason.
