This is a great book about a young boy named, Jafta, and his adventures. This book has some nice illustrations and would be used in my classroom as a recreational book. The grades that this book would be suitable for would be 1 and 2 and the theme could be Africa. ( )

Jafta was a little boy who relates his emotions and feelings to animals.It has pictures of many animals with onomatopoeias. It encourages children to think and compare. K-3.

Jafta is about a little boy who has a big imagination and wants to do and be everything.

I like this book because again it is different than what I've read before and I would use it to teach culture in my classroom.

This book would work for 1st-3rd grade and the theme is to have fun with life and have a good imagination.

"Jafta" is a book about a boy who relates his emotions and feelings to animals. It teaches children that they can compare themselves to animals and objects by using similes. This book is an old book, but it is a great way to teach children what a simile is. It is appropriate for children aged K-3. ( )

"Jafta" is about a boy who relates his emotions to the behaviors of specific animals. (Ex. when he gets angry he stomps his feet like an elephant)

I would use this in my classroom just as a fun way to talk about emotions and learn about animals at the same time.

Recommended age group: 4-7 years
