If You Give a Moose a Muffin by Laura Numeroff is another fun to read picture book for young children. Just as the other books in its series, it's a predictable story that is great for a read aloud. In this story, the moose wants a muffin, but of course he needs some jam to go with it, but when he gets the jam, it reminds him of something else.
I would use this book in my classroom because children love predictable books and you can do a plethora of across the curriculum activities.
South Carolina Standards for Math
Standard 1-2: Through the process standards students will demonstrate a sense of whole numbers, basic addition and related subtraction facts, ways to represent whole numbers, and connections among oral, numeric, and written word forms of whole numbers.
Indicator 1-2.8 Generate strategies to add and subtract without regrouping through two digit numbers.
After reading If You Give a Moose a Muffin, the students would get into small groups and create their own simple word problems for two digit numbers. Using the word wall words from the book.
