Personal reaction to the book:
I thought this was a cute version to the classic story. This book has great illustrations and has flaps included for children to discover parts of the story as it's read. Great book!

Extensions:
1. I could use this book to teach younger kids about belongings and respecting others things and spaces.
2. I could use this book to teach kids the importance of not running off and staying where you are supposed to.
3. I could use this book to teach children about safety and after reading the book we could discuss what could or might have happened next. ( )
