You can bring two cards, one with a smiling face and the other with sad face. You can ask your child to choose randomly one card and to ask him/her what he/she always wants or doesn’t want. You can let your child ask you the same questions in order to make things clear about accepted behaviors in the family.
Mother Mouse warns her little ones and prevents them from entering the kitchen. Discuss with your child the motives of Mother Mouse. You can choose a similar situation that the child encounters in the family or kindergarten environments. Why do adults sometimes prevent children from doing certain things?
Talk with your child about an enjoyable activity that he/she likes to do with other children, and one that is unique for him/her. You might want to share with him/her an activity that you enjoy.
The illustrations in this book are the main feature in it, as they clearly illustrate the events of the story and reveal more than the written text. When we first encounter the book, we review it with the children and encourage them to “read” the story as they figure it out according to the illustrations alone.
