*What is the poem all about?

The poem is all about the book.

*Are books important?

Why are books important?

Yes, books are important because we use them to learn and

study our lessons. We also read them to be entertained and to
research for our assignments.

*If books are important, what should we do so that we

would be able to use them for a longer time?

We should take care of them. We should open them with

clean hands and never pull them apart nor use pencil and
bookmarks on them.

*As a Grade 4 pupil, what other ways can you do to take

care of the books entrusted to you?

I will cover my books so that they will not be easily

crumpled and their covers will be clean and will not get wet
when I spill something.
I will not sit on them.
I will not use my book to cover my head when it rains.
I will not cut nor pull its parts.

* Teacher concludes and confirms the pupils ideas about taking care of books, therefore, may say:
Books are very important because they provide the information we need for our lessons, assignments and
research. They can also entertain us and can be our guide when we travel to other places. Therefore, it is our duty
to keep them clean and maintain their good condition so that we can use them longer.
