It's the cute story of Stella who looses her library book. As she tries to backtrack she is joined by many people in the community who try to help her. I always tell kids before I start to listen to the clues. The story never tells you the title of the book she misplaces but if you listen carefully you can figure it out. What's also cute is that the favorite part of the book goes with each person's profession.
Other curriculum tie-ins.
* People in the community
- In this story it's the mailman, a police officer, a waitress, etc.
* Time
- Stella must get her book back by 5:00. Towards the end of the story it mentions that it's 3:00 then a
few pages later 4:00.
* Proper book care
- If you look at the title page you will see that Stella reads her books everywhere, even in the bathtub!
This can spark a discussion on proper book care.
