My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:
Tomorrow is Dr. Seuss' birthday. JDaniel and I will be heading to the celebration of his birthday at Target tomorrow. I think Target stores everywhere are having a celebration. In honor of his birthday I decided we would read three Dr. Seuss books.
We started with the Lorax. It is all about saving the trees and an awareness that we have to give back.
What did we do?
I made JDaniel a Lorax sandwich with his favorite cheese rolls. I think it came out well. JDaniel announced that he was not into cheese rolls any more. That meant I got to eat the Lorax sandwich minus his eyeballs. It turns out he still likes those foods.
Next we read The Green Pants or What Was I Scared Of? We love this story about a girl who avoids a pair of green pants with nobody inside them for days and days. When she finally meets them she finds she really likes them. What a great message about giving all people a chance.
What did we do with this book?
We played find the green pants. I took a pair of JDaniel's pants that were green and hid them around the house for him to find. I thought it would be easier to find them if they were on a hanger.
Finally we read The Tooth Book. JDaniel is big into grouping things right now. He loved that this book is all about teeth.
What did we do with this book?
JDaniel and I searched in magazines for pictures of people with teeth showing. After gathering the pictures, we put them in a roasting pan and covered them with Moon Sand.
JDaniel then used an old toothbrush to uncover everyone's teeth.
What did you do that tied in with books this week?

I just got the Lorax from the library yesterday. I want to do something fun with it too. Not sure what direction to go yet. I always LOVE your food!! Maybe my picky eater would eat if it looked like that? Great books and post!!
ReplyDeleteIt can't hurt to try. JDaniel loves food creations!
DeleteI love your activities! Very creative. I haven't read What Was I scared of? so maybe we'll try that one this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat Was I Scared Of? is one of our favorites. It is short and so silly.
DeleteCute Lorax sandwich and I love all the activities that you listed! We love Dr. Seuss books :)
ReplyDeleteWe love the variety of topics and themes they cover.
DeleteThat is such a cute Lorax sandwich! Looks like you two had a lot of fun with all of the activities.
ReplyDeleteWe really had a great time!
DeleteYour Lorax lunch is adorable! We really like Dr Seuss books here.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was fun to make!
DeleteI LOVE the sandwich - so super cute!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to do some Dr. Seuss stuff this week with the kids - I used to celebrate it every year on his birthday with my school kids...
What kinds of things did you do with you students?
DeleteI love the Lorax! You always do such a great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We love the cheese rolls. When I was cutting one open for lunch, the Lorax came to mind.
DeleteI love the sandwich! You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteSO cute! I bet that sandwich was better than green eggs and ham!
ReplyDeleteIt was so much better.
DeleteI love the Lorax! We are going to a play tomorrow called Suessical. All the teachers in our district put on fantastic play each year as a fundraiser. They are like broadway...so good! Emily's school is doing a Dr. Suess's day on the 1st...so it never gets old for the kids.
ReplyDeleteI read about the play. It sounds like it was wonderful!
DeleteWhat cute ideas to do with your little guy! I remember one time we had green eggs and ham with our kiddos. Oh! Yeah, we had green milk, too. They loved this! Of course, I worried about everyone's kidneys having to process all that green food dye. lol. They are adults now so I guess all is well. Have a good weekend and thanks for visiting on Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad they were okay. It sounds like fun!
DeleteWe can't wait to go see The Lorax! I love that mustache!
ReplyDeleteThey passed mustaches out at the Target Suess event on Saturday. I plan to take pictures of JDaniel and I wearing it.
DeleteI featured your cute post over on my blog today! (I meant what I said...when I said I loved it!)

We are looking forward to it too.
