Eric Carle is one of my all time favorite authors. The Very Lonely Firefly and the Very Quiet Cricket have surprise endings that make my students gasp and want to read and reread those stories. We read those and the Very Busy Spider, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Then I ask students to change the details and come up with their own The Very (adjective) (creature). I love doing activities like this because you get to see the lessons in creativity paying off. :)
