I loved this book. I liked this book because it teaches that every kid can be what they want to be. It teaches them that even with a disability they can be like normal students. The story is about a deaf boy Moses. Him and his class go to visit a play where they watch a play. Throughout the book their is ASL which helps any student that is deaf or anyone that wants to learn ASL. I like that there is a lesson within in the book. I also like that it is apart of the Moses Series. ( )

The Little Theater of the Deaf comes to Moses' school and his class and another class with hearing students come to see the play. There is a new boy in class named Manuel. Manuel is having a bit of a hard time understanding what his new school looks like, because he speaks Spanish and Moses becomes friends with him. This series is so well made. I love the illustrations and the way they give a sentence in ASL so the reader can learn along ( )

I liked this book for many reasons. First, the story is very relatable to many children and many classrooms. Especially when it comes to new students whom first language is not English. Secondly, I liked how the teachers are involved in finding the new student named Manuel a buddy whom he can speak to or who can help him throughout the school day. It is very important for teachers to be involved more with their students, especially those whom English is not their first language. I guess that is part of getting to know your students and creating that student and teacher relationship, because some teachers just get caught up in their lesson and in assessments than in their student’s abilities. The language in the book is clear and very interesting because the story is written in English, but there are also pictures of sign language that go with the story/plot. The story is about Moses meeting Manuel who is a new student and doesn’t know American Sign Language, only Spanish sign language. Moses helps Manuel get used to his new school and helps him understand a play and the teacher. Mr. Samuel the teacher tells Moses, “Moses, you can communicate with Manuel using gestures.” Finally, I think it’s interesting how you can communicate many ways with someone when they don’t know your language, so there is never an excuse of not being able to understand someone because you can use your hands, body, or any other way to communicate with someone else. We communicate every day, even when we are not using our body or mouths. ( )

This book along with the series of Moses books belongs to an awards winning shelf. It not only places a person in the mind of a child with a hearing impartment, it brings to life another form of language called sign language which is helpful for children to understand ( )

This book tells the story of a young boy, named Moses, who is a student at a special school for the deaf. Moses and his classmates attend a play of Cinderella by the Little Theater of the Deaf at their school. Another class of students who are not deaf join Moses's class to see the play. I think this is a great book. I love how it teaches some words and phrases in sign language. ( )
