Book! Book! Book! by Deborah Bruss
Schema: books, farm animals, walking in a line
Text-to-Self Connections: Do our pets miss us while we are at school?
Alliteration: animals sounds, pig pouted
Predicting with Context Clues: Where do you predict the animals are going? There is a sign with the word “library” on it, and the frog is carrying a book.
At the end of the book, what do you predict the frog will say?
Sequencing: Sequence the order that the animals went into the library.
Cause and Effect: Because the chicken’s sound is like the word “book,” the effect is that the librarian understood the chicken and gave her a book.
Synthesis: If we get lonesome or bored, where could we go? What could we do?
Big Idea: When we feel lonely, we could go to the library to find something to engage our minds.
Reader’s Theater: This book would be a fun book to do with Reader’s Theater.
