Silly Suzy Goose by Petr Horacek
Quiet! by Paul Bright

Craft: Standing Paper Lion
- For lion's body I cut triangles into the short sides of a 5" x 3" piece of card stock.  The card was then folded in half and colored.  A piece of 1/2" x 4" brown paper was glued to the back and curled for the lion's tale.
- For the lion's head I found a coloring picture online of a lion and sized the head to fit the body.  It was cut out of card stock and colored.  About 15-20 pieces of 1/2" x 2" brown paper were glued around the head to make the mane.
- The lion's head was glued to the front side of the body towards the top of the fold.
- The lion should stand when the fold is opened slightly.

Literacy Expanders:
- Talk about the different sounds animals make.
- Visit the library and go over some basic rules for behavior in the library and how to treat books. - The Library Lion
