Summary and how it can be used in the classroom: This is the story of Big Momma creating the world in 7 days, It goes off of the same theory of creation and she makes the sun, moon, stars, animals, and such on the same day that God did. She, however, also has a baby that she carries on her hip while doing this. It is a very cute book and although I do not believe in what it is saying, it could open the eyes up to children to start questioning things in life and where they came from. This can be used in the classroom to entertain. It could also be used when talking about evolution or where things came from since evolution is usually in the textbooks. It can be used to show determination and creativity also.
