Article: Have you read “Thea Stilton and the Blue Scarab Hunt,” from the Geronimo Stilton series? A recent version of the book from Scholastic Publishing showed a picture of a map of the Middle East, without Israel on it! It shows the path the mice sisters walk as they travel to Egypt but shows Jordan in place of Israel. A young reader complained to Scholastic. As a result, Scholastic is stopping shipment on this book and will reprint with a correction.
Discussion:
- A young reader did very close reading and showed the map to his mother, who noticed Israel was missing. What action did they take next?
- Why can it be important to be a close reader?
- How does this show that even young readers can make a big difference?
