The resource is differentiated to give you the option to start at different points with the children in your class. NEARY: Medina loves the idea that her book will always have the stamp of the Newbery on its cover and that winning the medal means it will be around for a long time. Perhaps, she says, her grandchildren will find it on a library shelf one day. Lynn Neary, NPR News, Washington. I did not find what is the point of this book. Just to tell about a lighthouse? There was no plot, no story, no characters. Too many details that are not making any difference. Lon Po Po is a Chinese rendition of Little Red Riding Hood. Three sisters are left at home by their mother, and a wolf visits them. The youngest sister unknowingly allows the wolf in, and it's up to the elder sisters to outwit the beast and ensure their safety.At the end of the story, the lighthouse keeper has moved out of the lighthouse as there is a new light and machine which means the keeper does not need to tend the lighthouse anymore. a b c Handy, Bruce (2018-04-06).
