Summary and how the book will be used with students:

 Hondo and Fabian is a very simple picture book. It tells the story of a dog and a cat and what they do during the day. Fabian stays at home to play with the baby, while Hondo goes to the beach with his friend Fred. They both enjoy their day, eat, and then goes to sleep.

I would use this book in my classroom for my students to explore their imagination. I would ask them to give more detail about what went own during Hondo and Fabian's day. We could also use their activities as party of the math lessons for the week and use the simple sentence in the book during Language Arts class.
