This is a wonderful book filled with repetition so even your earliest readers will truly believe they are reading! After reading this book, it's time to make your own class book following this same story format. The children can choose interesting animals or they may even choose to put themselves in the story. For example, they may write, "Jessica, Jessica, what do you see?" "I see Emily looking at me!" and so on. Have them illustrate their book by using the Eric Carle Art technique or by just drawing their own pictures. This promises to be a book they will want to read over and over again!
