Parent Guide > The Story of the Bad Little Boy
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "The Story of the Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain.
Written by American author Mark Twain (1835-1910), this ironic tale centers around a badly-behaved boy who doesn't quite get what he deserves.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Justice, Freedom & Equality and Morality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is fair?" and "What is good and how do we know?"
