Essential questionWhat makes a Joy Cowley story a Joy Cowley story?
Joy Cowley’s characters make kids laugh out loud, and laughing readers keep reading. This text set turns that delight into an author study.
Twenty stories by Joy Cowley, starring Little Rabbit, Greedy Cat, Oscar, and the Wishy-Washy farm, chosen so students can notice how one author builds a character, plays with language, and sets up a surprise. Because the books range from simple to more challenging, every student — beginning readers and strong readers alike — can read about the same topic and contribute to the same discussion.
