The story itself can be a story in sharing with the people around you. However, in the story, Daisy does use deception to get her Uncle Scrooge to share his many possessions. That being said, even though Scrooge is tricked into sharing his food, he does feel good about sharing in the end.
The book's illustrations are done in a watercolor style. This could be integrated into an art class with watercolor paints. Younger students could even watercolor coloring book pages (possibly Disney) if they did not sketch their own drawings.
I thought this was such a cute book! It was interesting to me because I had no idea that Disney had done a spin of off Stone Soup (Very cool). I think the water painting idea would go really good with this book, but since I love to eat!! : ) I was thinking that maybe you can have the kids bring in there favorite chopped vegetables and make a pot of soup as a class. You can also maybe even do a nutritional activity and talk to the kids about vegetables and why they are good for us.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I love how much it was loved and used by you and that it is a more light hearted vernon of Stone Soup. I agree that this book has a good and bad lesson involved. If I were to use it in the classroom it would be more for entertainment or art purposes, not so much as a critical analysis type book.
