Books:
Barnacle Is Bored by  Jonathan Fenske *

The Mixed-Up Truck by Stephen Savage *

Craft: Barnacle
The children colored a cutout template of a barnacle before gluing it into a cylinder.  The legs could be slightly bent to make it look like they were moving in the waves.

Literacy Extensions:
- I Am Bear's humor comes for the odd things he says based on his rhymes.  Practice rhyming with your child.  See how many rhyming words they can come up with.
- They All Saw a Cat demonstrates in its pictures how different animals see something in different ways.  Have your child experiment with that by having them ask various people for the names of shades of colors.
