<div>Little Wolf has decided that today things are going to be done differently. It will be a contrarian day. Why? Because he said so! He will stand, not sit, for dinner ? and he’ll start with dessert. He’s going to play the piano with his toes and wear his pants on his head. And when he says ?The Story Starts Here,” he means it ? this book starts at the back and ends at the front. After Little Wolf’s parents send him to his room to think about his backwards behavior, he decides to run away. But outside, everyone is running from a giant, shadowy monster. Readers will need to flip the book over to discover the monster’s true identity ? and that he’s not so scary after all, just a little turned around and out of sorts. This fun, engaging story that pokes playfully at conventions will have readers interacting with their book in a new way, and help them realize there’s more than one way to see the world.<BR><BR>Grade: 1<BR>Fountas & Pinnel: J<BR>Reading Recovery: 17<BR>Lexile Measure: AD 60L<BR>Common Core State Standards:<BR>CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.1,2,2b,2c,5,5a,5c,5d,6<BR>CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.1,1a,2,4,4a,4b<BR>CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.1.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9<BR>CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.1.1,1a,1b,1c,2,3,4,5,6<BR></div>
