Have you read the old Russian folktalk "The Turnip"? I asked the students and they said "Noooo" while shaking their heads. Ohhhhhhh, I wish I had of read "The Turnip" first! But too late . . . The Giant Carrot by Jan Peck will have to do.
This picture book is about a family who plants carrot seeds while discussing their plans for the carrot when it is harvested. Even the youngest one, sweet Little Isabelle gets in on the action. Although the members of the family do all the right things to make the carrot grow, sweet Little Isabelle's odd actions get the best results!
There are many activites that can be done with this book! Please view http://www.janpeck.com/curriculumcarrot.pdf and http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/lessonplan.jsp?id=1009 for a few ideas!
