Theme/Skill: Teaching children the different types of animals and colors those animals have/Sequencing/Order/Mathematics

Pre-activity: Have the students create an animal that is mentioned in the book. Then put the animal on a popsicle stick and when the animal is mentioned throughout the story the student must hold up that animal.

Post-activity: Have the students write the order of each animal and what that animal saw in order as the book. Then as a class we will go over the students list. After that I will have the students stand in line in order of when there animal that they created was mentioned in the story. This will happen as I read the story again to the class.

My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:

I enjoy reading this book because of the illustrations that fit the script of the story. This story provides easy predicting the next rhyme. I also like how it helps children learn different animals and this story helps children learn their colors. This story also provides participation for students.
