review 1: This is the story of a little hedgehog who gets herself stuck in a sticky situation. An apple drops on hedgehogs back and gets stuck. In an attempt to get it off she asks for squirrels help but ends up getting his nuts stuck to her as well. Then they ask pig for help. She suggests rolling around on the ground but the apple and nuts stay stuck and hedgehog picks up leaves and a pear. Then a piece of paper is blown on hedgehog. Fog suggests jumping in the pond to remove all the items but instead she picks up a pretty pink lily. Finally hedgehog runs into goat who offers to eat all the items off her back. The story ends with hedgehog sleeping peacefully in her nest. This is a great story about team work, cooperation, and friendship. In life students will face problems and if ... morethey are willing to ask for help they can get themselves out of sticky situations. This book has a 3.3 reading level but an interest level of all grades. If I were to use Apple Trouble! in the classroom I would use it to teach vocabulary. There are tons of words throughout the story that work well with a Total, Physical, Response method to teaching language.
review 2: Author: Ragnhild ScamellGrade Level: 1-3Content: Characteristics of a hedgehog, food webThis story is about a hedgehog who built his nest under an apple tree preparing for winter. An apple fell off the tree and landed on his back. He could not get it off so he asked his friend for advice on how to get it off. Each time a friend suggested a solution, it only got more items stuck onto his back. Eventually he end up with a variety of items and finally seeks the help of his friend the goat. The goat ends up eating all of the items on the hedgehog's back leaving him free to fit into his nest. This could be used to talk about hibernation, and as an inquiry based problem.Introduce book to class during food web unit. less
