Reflection:
I enjoyed this book because it is a fun way for young kids to begin reading. This is a very easy read and illustrations explain so much especially for the students who have trouble reading. This book is good for reading activities because you can be very creative with young children.
This is one of my favorites! I like reading all of Laura Numeroff's books. They are cute and kids love them. I think your pre-reading activity is great. It really gets the children ready and excited to listen to the story. They probably would have fun discussing too. You could do sequencing as a post reading activity as well.
