Eric Carle's Rooster's Off to See the World

After reading Rooster's Off to See the World, we made mini books with the animals who traveled with Rooster.  The children had pre-drawn animals to cut and glue in their books and then they labeled each one to practice their numbers and words.  Some children choose to write sentences on each page. 

The children then painted watercolor roosters for the covers of their mini books.

Materials:  pre-made mini books, stapler, staples, pencils, glue sticks, images of animals for students to cut, watercolors, brushes, cups of water
