Retell this familiar book by Bill Martin, Jr. with a variety of new animals. Gather enough stuffed animals or puppets for the entire class. During large group arrange the children in a circle, each with an animal, and begin the familiar pattern. The teacher and the class ask, “White rabbit, white rabbit, who do you see?” (And the child with the animal answers) “I see a gray elephant looking at me!” Try this with toys or other objects from the classroom. Just add round paper reinforcements for eyes! “Brown block, brown block, who do you see?” “I see a green LEGO® looking at me!”
