My kids LOVE this story! Have you read it? Do you know it off by heart?
One of the AMAZING things I find about this book is the simplicity of words making memorization a breeze, especially for little ones. The amount of times I have witnessed my children 'reading' this book to their younger siblings, word for word. Its great.
But more than that! This book turns into a game, a game using the imagination, mud, long grass and some hysterical laughs all round.
I especially love the morning where I looked out the window to see my front yard completely flooding, children traipsing through mud and laughs all round. That day was a sight for anyone!
I wrote this post early 2011, as a reminder of the links that i used to create our first (& last) unit study. Unit studies don't work for me, and don't interest the children. So we don't do them. We do what DOES work. But I still want to include these links in my post, and the reminder of the book.
If nothing else watch the You Tube clip ;)
