I Wanna Iguana

Awesome Book!

This is a great story of a boy who writes letters to persuade his mother to allow him to have an iguana for a pet. The illustrations are beautiful. In the classroom, I use this book to teach persuasive writing (a difficult concept for primary students). I also use this book as a read aloud for teaching letter writing. I love this book so much, I also bought "I Wanna New Room". I have shared this book with many other teachers who have gone out to buy their book. LOVE the concept; LOVE the illustrations --and my students do, too :)

Great for a 6 year old

Sent this to my grandson. He is in kindergarten and 6 years old. He was able to read this entire book over the phone to me. I enjoyed that so much. Got the review out of the Plain Dealer.

Great mentor text!

This book works well as a mentor text for teaching persuasive writing with my 4th grade students.

MY DAUGHTER LAUGHS EVERYTIME WE READ IT!!

This book is so good at portraying what a child is willing to do to get something he or she wants. I love how clever the little boy is and the communication he has back and forth with his mother. The illustration goes so well with the author's idea and it could not get any better. Love it!!

We love this book!

We first found this book at the library. After reading over and over again. We had to buy it. What a fun story. It makes me laugh as much as my son when we read it together.

We Love This Wonderful Book!

Our family LOVES I Wanna Iguana. Karen Kaufman Orloff's inventive story shows a wonderful, loving and humor-filled parent-child relationship in such a fun way. Our son wants to read it over and over again.
