by Paul Hoppe
In The Woods, a young boy sets out to find his lost stuffed rabbit before going to bed. On his quest, he imagines he is in the woods and encounters many scary monsters. To defeat the monsters, he does nice things, and by the end he has his stuffed rabbit and a few other stuffies to snuggle with.
I see using this book for copycat writing. Students could follow the organizational structure of searching for a lost item, running into obstacles, and overcoming them. The obstacles wouldn't need to be monsters, and the solutions wouldn't need to be solved with kindness. If you assign this copycat write, students could choose to follow the exact format or invent their own. It could be realistic or fantasy based. This book could be used a lot of ways.
