Rating:
I give this book a 10/10. It comes with a CD that tells the story making it even more enchanting with different sounds that makes the words come to life!
Classroom Ideas:
I have used this book with my preschoolers and they love it! We even listen to the story on the CD every day before nap time (it helps them imagine the story and helps them relax). I have used this story to help them understand sequencing and adding numbers at an early age. they are able to see that the higher a number goes the bigger something can become. a simple activity can be done with this story: give the children each a piece of construction paper and as you read the story let them paste pre cut out shapes of the characters in a house that they drew or created with Popsicle sticks. you can also have them do grouping and put the characters into categories such as insects, animals, people etc.. and remember Have FUN!
