Nature: We can go on a hike to the nearby nature. Which trees do we notice? What animals might we encounter? We capture natural scenes and compile them as a memory of our enjoyable outing together.
Animals around us: Are there any pets in our neighborhood looking for shelter or food? How can we help them safely? (We might prepare a box for cat food or a bird feeder).
This book is distinguished by the relation between the text and the illustrations that reflect what the child imagines in contrary to what the mother says. We can imagine additional obstacles that the wolf may encounter and overcome.
We can go review the instructions that mother goat gave to her children (stay at home, lock the door, don’t open for strangers). We can think together of more instructions that mother goat could give to her children in order to be safe.
The kid screamed so the neighbors came running to save the others from the wolf. We can have a conversation about different situations where a child may feel in danger. What does he/she do to save himself/herself?
