I would use this book in my classroom as a read aloud story. This book also provides an underlying implication of following the rules set by the teacher, and the consequences if the rules are not followed. This book could be used for students' independent reading as well as small group reading. There are many ways to integrate this book; students can discuss elements of the book.
