The Runaway Beard is a funny story that all children love. The absurd notion that a beard can get off a man's face and run away always makes the children laugh. It is also the only time when I read aloud a story, wearing a false beard!
Bee Gets a Sweater is a fable explaining how the bee got it's yellow and black striped body. I like to read this book because, at this point in our discussion of insects, we have read a lot of non-fiction and it's good to go back to fiction stories. It helps the children really understand the difference between fiction and non-fiction.
Thing-Thing is an interesting story about a stuffed dog that gets thrown out the window by a poorly-behaved child. I like to read this story, because it allows the children to understand the perspective of the dog as it looks at things as it falls down 6 stories. I also had the children make a comparison to the similar children's book that we read a few months ago, "Corduroy the Bear".
