Summary:
This book focuses on the importance of listening. The "Why should I?" question help students learn the effect of listening or not listening when someone is trying to help you stay safe.

Evaluation:
I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars because the illustrations are colorful and students would be engaged through the questions in the book.

Teaching Point:
This would be a great book for teaching cause and effect. By someone not listening, an accident or avoidable mistake can be made. Therefore, this is a great book because it goes through multiple different cause and effect scenarios.

The little boy, Joe, is on a journey to find out why it is important to listen. He finds out what happens when he does listen, then what happens when he doesn't, and lastly how it makes him feel when he isn't listened to. I think this book is great for children learning about listening, like a beginning of the school-year book. It comes at the question through multiple perspectives and helps children to the reason behind listening.

This is a useful book for young readers. It could be used as a character trait of the month reminder for elementary too. I like the extension activities, discussion points and other text suggestions offered in the back of the book too. I think the author portrayed many examples of why listening is important. Animated, caricature-type illustrations.

I think this is a good resource to have in your classroom because not all children really listen, they hear you talking but they are not listening. Claire Llewellyn did a good job of showing what it looks like to listen and why it is so important for children to truly listen to what an adult or even a friend is telling them.

The book is about showing the reason why listening is important. Through the experience that the main character goes through gets him into trouble because he did not listen. Getting excited can lead you not to listen. I would recommend this book because it shows the importance of listening and being aware. This book would be great for children of the age of 3 through 5 years old.

Grade Level: 2nd Genre: Informational
This book talks about listening for when adults are talking to you (children). It gives reasons what might happen if you don't listen. It also shows why or how you might not listen. This book is like a story but it is informative.

Why Should I Listen written by Claire Llewllyn is a story about a little boy who does not listen to his parents, teachers or even his friends. Throughout the book the little boy notices what happens to him when he does not listen. As the story continues the boy realizes he does not like when people do not listen to him, so he makes it a point to try and listen really hard to others when they are talking. The illustrations in this book make everything that happens to the little boy seem so real that it makes the readers feel like they can actually see it happening to them or someone else. This would be a great book to read to students to show the importance of listening to others because you might not know what going on and be left out and have to learn things the hard way.

[Molly Robbins · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book/response is very similar to the other book "Why Should I Help?". It just reinforces the benefits of listening to others. You can more easily follow directions, and be more aware of what is going on around you. A good extension activity for this could be for the children to make a list of different sounds they hear on the way home. Have the students take this list home so they can really listen out for these sounds to see if they really pay attention on a regular basis.

[Ashley Greenfield · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book that kids are sure to like! I would use this during the first few days of school. It shows them why listening is so important and what can happen if you don't. It's important to teach them early.
