About this deal

How I could use this book in a classroom: I would use this book for students to tke time to reflect on what they have learned throughout the year in my classroom. After reading this book I would ask them something that they can do now that they could not do at the beginning of the year or when they were younger. I think I could also use this book to talk about what it means to be quiet an loud. After that we could talk about times when we need to be quiet and then practice classroom and school etiquette. Have an insect sound contest where students use instruments, found materials, body parts and voices to imitate insect sounds.

The word use is interesting and dramatic and Carle’s inclusion of real sound in a book that has been discussing sound throughout the book expands our concept of what a picture book can and should be. Eric Carle has said that each of his "very" books has a theme and that this one is about love and the search for it. The fun story has a few repeating words that will have your children reading along with you in no time.

This is a wonderful source book for information about Eric Carle and his work. Carle includes a delightful autobiography amply illustrated with photographs and sketches, but there is much more in the book. An editor relates her experiences with Carle.
