One of my favorite children's book is Mouse Mess
by Linnea Asplind Riley.
Mouse Mess
is a silly story about a mouse that wakes up at night to eat while everyone is
sleeping. It is written in a way that attracts children's attention, there is
only one line with rhyming words per page. The mouse makes a big mess while
eating then it wonders who made that mess. When I read this story to my
students they can't stop laughing and we always make a mess in the classroom to
explain what happened in the story. This story broadens children's imagination
by making them wonder what could happen in their house while they are sleeping.
It also makes them more aware of the difference between real stories and
fiction.

ReplyDeleteI have never read Mouse Mess, but I will definitely be looking for it now! It sounds like a great book and I can see why the children would enjoy reading it. I like that you make it an active reading story by making a mess in your own classroom so that it makes a larger connection for your students. Thank you for sharing!
My favorite childhood book is the very hungry caterpillar, maybe because I love to eat, lol
