 * Google Lit Trip:**

I chose to review the Google Lit Trip __Big Anthony:His Story__ by Tomie DePaula. I think it was great! Each of the six stops had interesting information as well as colorful pictures. It would be really easy for a student in elementary school to navigate the lit trip and explore the additional information on each page. I found this one to be especially entertaining to go through because of all the resources provided at each stop. For instance, there was a link to an online game for students. There was also a link to find out more information on the Leaning Tower of Pisa, a link for Mt. Vesuvius as well a link for students to learn words in Italian.

I would definitely use this lit trip in my classroom. I teach preschool and we read Tomie DePaula books on a regular basis, so this would be a great addition. Although some of the material may be a bit over some of the student's heads, there are certainly some who would really benefit from additional resources and information. This is also a great tool for parents to use as well. I could suggest a google lit trip for my students to go through at home with their families. I am really looking forward to exploring more books with the google lit trips and hopefully incorporating them into my current preschool classroom as well as in my future classrooms.
