I have always loved the book Quick as a Cricket by Audrey Wood. I finally landed on Audrey Wood for an author study last week. We have continued to poor over her books through this week as well. Thanks Elsie and Robin who helped me decide this is who I should do, since I could not make up my mind! The kids are really enjoying her stories and of course her and Don Woods illustrations. This week we wrote our own version of Quick as a Cricket. The kids came up with some great ideas and made paintings to represent their portion of the book.
Here are some samples. Fun was had by all!
Wonderfully detailed drawings! How old are these students of yours? Audrey Wood is fabulous! What great exploration for your students.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! It looks like the kids had fun and it sounds like you did too! Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove her and the illustrations, oh my! King Bidgood's in the Bathtub is a book that captured my husband's attention when our son was given this book as a baby. Now he insists I buy it for anyone we know expecting. Enjoy!
