Teaching Ideas: |
This book joins a text set on pets with Every Living Thing and The Heart Is Big Enough. It is a good book to read aloud to encourage telling and writing favorite pet stories. Prediction exercises like DR-TA would also work well. Because the language is especially rich, students may want to pick their favorite words.
