For my reading lesson I will be reading Apple Pie Fourth of July by Janet S. Wong. I feel that this book is a great book when teaching about the fourth of July and also to incorporate culture in the lesson. The book is about a young Chinese girl who is living in two cultures. In this story the young girl spends the 4th of July at her parents shop/restaurant wishing she could take part in the (american) parade. She feels that no Americans are going to want Chinese food on the 4th of July. After waiting hours people soon start popping in and ordering food to go. After her parents close up shop, she ends up going going to the top of her building to watch fireworks and finally got to eat Apple Pie. I hope you enjoy this book as much I did! :)
