Title: How Many Mice?
Author: Michael Garland graduated from Pratt Institute in 1974. He began his career as an illustrator, he since has written and illustrated books. He has illustrated several enchanting picture books, that include The Mouse Before Christmas. Garland lives in Patterson, New York.
Publisher: Dutton Juvenile (2007)
Genre: Fiction
Grade Level: K-2
Brief Synopsis: Ten hungry mice set out in a mission to find some food, facing hazards and dangers along the way. As you are reading along on each page there is a question for the student to answer.
Theme/Skill: Counting and using mathematical skills. Math & Language Arts
Pre-activity: Use a real life explain to introduce counting and how often we use it throughout the day. For example have the students go around the room and count a certain object that is in the classroom. (desks, computers, chairs....)
Post-activity: Each student will create a number book using the number 1-10. When each student has finished they will then share their number books with the class.
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
I think this is a great book for teachers to use to introduce numbers. This book does not only introduce the numbers 1-10, but it also shows the importance of counting in everyday life. It follows a sequence and uses appropriate speech patterns. The collages of scanned fabrics provide interesting patterns and textures. Overall, this is a great book for students!
