The first series of books are the Chester books from Melanie Watt.
The Chester series of books features a rascally cat named Chester who battles with the author Melanie Watt to turn her stories into books all about him. He uses a red marker to scribble over her typed words and they battle back and forth in the most humorous way. My students have loved every one of her Chester stories.
After we read a few of the the Chester books we tried our hands at being "Chester-like". Students used a book that I wrote about my dog Dewey and had the best time scribbling all over the pages as they changed the story to be about another character (some created their own Chester story and others used their pets as inspiration.)
Check out my Chester Point of View Activities over in my TPT store.

I just love finding new mentor texts. What other books do you use to teach point of view??
