And the last three feltboard pieces for Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?, written by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrated by Eric Carle. After putting the walrus on the board, I go back to the book and show Eric Carle’s illustration of the zookeeper, and then the final spread with the children dressed in costumes of the various animals. Going back to the book made sense in terms of the story, and it also reinforces that the feltboard pieces are based upon a book.
Here are the pieces for the leopard, peacock, and walrus (click image to enlarge):
these are darling!!!
