review 1: Great book for multiple extension activities: 1. Read the book with a flannel board 2. Use flannel board and tell the story without even using the book3. Read the book and then have shapes available for the child to tell the story with you 4. Read the story and have the shapes available for an art extension activity after (create your own picture using the shapes) Some of the activities skew older, but the flannel board could be used with 3+
review 2: Age: Preschool-1st gradeNow I understand why the blogosphere is exploding with storytimes/lesson plans surrounding this book. It's just asking to extend a listener's creativity! No, seriously, it asks you at the end what you can do with the scraps of paper. Also, this would be such an easy flannel to make. The... more story itself is a reverse cumulative tale, explaining where these scraps of paper came from. It starts with the last animal to interact with them leading to the first thing to touch them: the wind. This is provides children with a unique exposure to a different way to tell a story and would provide a neat extension activity. Furthermore, it ends with an invitation and an easy set-up for a creative math activity.So simple yet so thought-provoking! less
