Planet Was by Amy Boesky

If you love books that rhyme and a boy's imagination and courage that would blow your mind then you will love Planet Was. Planet Was talks about a town where the rules are: "Never change!" and "Never new!"

In a town that never changes things probably get boring and that is exactly what the King's son felt like. When going to his dad about maybe changing a few things, he received a strong "NO". Everything was the same here. The houses all looked the same and were the same color, Eds had boys named Eds and Frans had girls named Fran. Nothing ever changed until one day during nap time. The king's son decided that he needed something different in his life so he marched up to his room and designed it how he wanted it, DIFFERENT! When everyone woke up, the king noticed that his son was no where to be found and ran up to his room finding this incredible sight. And that is exactly what he thought of it, that it was incredible.

This is a good story because I know when I was younger I didn't like a lot of change and I think that a lot of people are like that. But if you show kids that change can be good then they might be more accepting of it. This is a good book to have for Kindergarten to Second grades.
