Because I'm Your Dad by Ahmet Zappa
5.0
I'm already thinking of the two ways I can use this book as a mentor text:
1) Mother's Day is coming up next weekend. Have students write "Because you're my mom" pieces.
2) This is an example of an entire book using one of Jeff Anderson's infamous AAAWWUBBIS (As, Although, After, When, While, Unless, Before, Because, If, Since) introductory elements. This book can be used to show students how they can correctly use because at the beginning of a sentence so that it's not a fragment.
But let's also look at how downright adorable this book is. After reading it, I have come to the conclusion that Ahmet Zappa is the dad every kid deserves to have. He clearly adores his daughter Halo and it shows through in this tearfully sentimental and also chuckle-inducing story.
