We talk about how it feels to have all those animals not be friends with the mouse. And how wonderful he feels when he finds a friend. We agree that we are all so lucky to have lots of friends to play with. We make a class book and the kids think of other animals to be friends with the mouse.
We also discuss how Eric Carle likes to illustrate his books: he paints paper and then cuts it out in the shape of the animals and glues it to the paper (collage). He then takes a picture and prints it to make the book (really I know the publisher does it but it is my simple version, okay?)
I like how we have Eric Carle books for almost every month of the year!
