I originally thought of this for a battle of the books option, but the picture book format doesn't work. Instead, I found a good option for higher grade read alouds and for young readers reading at a higher level. Fun to see what we think life might be like in 20 years!

-Schools made of interlocking plastic blocks (LEGOs?!?)
-Magnetic hoverboards (use magnets' repelling properties)
-Final page - drift off to sleep with favorite entertainment...a BOOK! How will we read books in the future? On a device? On glasses? On your wrist? On something smaller than your hand? Good segway into SRP.

Great children’s book about the day in the life of a child in the year 2030, though in my opinion it should have been labeled 2130 as that particular year is coming soon & it’s not likely that 2030 we’ll find the things in this book anytime soon, let alone by the year 2030.

I really like the ideas here, and I have used this in my classroom. A good resource for the elementary/middle school classroom

After all the dismal political, financial, judicial news of the week, this book was a shot in the arm. Thinking about the future is the best way to ignore the foibles of my fellow citizens. Good book to borrow from the library but not to buy.
