My Favorite Children's Book

The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear ...

I have many favorite children's books. But one of my most favorite  is "The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear" by Don and Audrey Wood.  It is such a fun book to read to children. I enjoy the perspective of the reader "speaking" to the little mouse and asking him questions about his intentions throughout the story. As a teacher, I read this book with much emphasis. Children love to see what the mouse will decide to do.  It also has a fun twist at the end about sharing. It leads us to conversations about when we should be sharing and the times of things it is okay to share and to not share. We also discuss danger and how we should handle a dangerous situation as a Pre-K child. It is a fun book for children of all ages and I believe all educators should share it with their children.

  1. I saw your book cover and instantly felt a rush of excitement! I too would read this book with different tones and I pictured my students leaning in as I whispered certain parts of the book. Good choice to share.
