Never, Ever Shout in a Zoo
is kind of a silly picture book full of alliterations and repetition. The little girl gives readers advice to never
shout in a zoo and tells what might happen in you do. A bear, a moose, and an ape would get out and
eventually let all the other animals out and lock the people in the cages. An example of one of the alliterations is giant,
grouchy, and grizzly. It has repetition
because it repeats what animal got out first, second, third, and so on. It is a fun book for young readers.
As
I was reading this story a story of my own popped into my head that I would
share with my students to go along with this book. My extended family has a farm that we all
used to go to about once a month. They
raise cows on the farm. When I was about
six years old my dad, my friend, and I decided to walk down to the bottom of
the pasture where there is a creek. The
cows were on the other side of the creek and one of them moved and I screamed
and they all got spooked and stampeded us back to the house. Once they got done laughing at this story I
would have them go to their writer’s notebook and either write about an
experience or create a story about shouting around animals and what
happens. This would be a great activity
for students.
