The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR By Don & Audry Wood

A cute little story that is great for one on one reading as well as big group story time. Little mouse can't resist picking the red ripe strawberry, even when she knows BIG BEAR might be coming for it! Her quest to keep is safe and the lengths she goes to do so is very entertaining and has been illustrated beautifully!

Discussion ideas:
* I like to use books to get children thinking, and predicting. So when reading this story, I always ask the children I am reading to to predict what they think Little Mouse might be doing? As that is the first question and opening sentence of the book.
* I also like to ask them to think of ways they might hide the strawberry to keep it safe from the bear. Do they have some better ideas? If they are old enough they could draw their own illustrations of how they would hide the strawberry!
