Making Curriculum Pop

If any of you teach Poe's "The Telltale Heart," this fun picture book would make an excellent intro to the unit (or perhaps a wrap-up). As a library media specialist, I find there's a picture book for nearly every topic out there, and they are excellent for engaging not only elementary but middle- and high-school students, too!


This clever take-off on Edgar Allan Poe’s "The Tell-Tale Heart" is sure to resonate with picky eaters and grand gourmands alike! It all began with the beets. The revoltingly red beets that drove Edgar, Allan, and Poe to do the horrendously horrible thing that they did. Their mother has one unbreakable rule: “No dessert until you finish your dinner.” But how can Edgar, Allan, and Poe possibly clear their plates when there are Brussels sprouts to be swallowed, liver to be chewed, and worst of all, beets to be bitten?
