Book Activities & Discussion Ideas
Little Mouse had to go through many steps to accomplish his task—getting dressed to go to the barn. Think about some activities that your family does each day. What are all the steps that must be accomplished to achieve a task (making breakfast, getting ready for school, getting ready for bed, etc.)?
Invite families to create their own comic book! Like Little Mouse Gets Ready, your book can center on everyday activities (waking up, having breakfast, getting on the school bus, etc.). Parents could draw the pictures in a simple four frame comic-style format. When children and their parents get together, the children can dictate the text for their parents’ pictures.
