If You Give a Mouse a Cookie…
My favorite book is one in a series by Numeroff “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” where the children design their own story, using a literature “wheel” and fill in each part of the wheel with the next thing the mouse will want. The top portion of the wheel is turned to see the next desire of the mouse.
