Jacquelyn Reinach (1930–2000)

Jackal is jealous. He feels that everyone else is better off than he is. It teaches children that jealousy hurts peoples' feelings. When Jackal's friends give him everything he wants, it is still not good enough for him.
The connection I had was it made me think of all the jealousy there was in high school and how it hurt peoples' feelings.

First or Second grade reading level. This book is a great book for teaching and explaining patience to students. This book would be a great tool when introducing the conpcet of patience and why we should use it. Kind of old illustrations, but cute story.

Genre: This book is a fantasy story. The story is about a iguana that wants to look exactly like everyone else. We often want to look like other people in real life so this brings the story a little bit of reality. However, iguanas, zebras, and lions do not talk in real life so it is a fantasy. Because there is a element of truth to the non-reality this story is a good example of a fantasy.
