Picture Book Pick: I Will Be Especially Very Careful
I Will Be Especially Very Careful
by Lauren Child
From Goodreads:
“Lola’s best friend Lotta has an extremely special new coat, and Lola really wants to borrow it. Lotta isn’t so sure…’I will be especially very careful’, says Lola. But will she be able to keep it all fluffy and white and new?”
After reading the story to the class, process it with these or similar questions:
Did you think Lotta was very protective of her coat?
Did you think Lola was going to be able to take care of it?
How do you think Lola felt when she realized that she lost the coat?
Have you ever had something that required extra special care?
What if Lotta coat was just a regular ol’ coat – how should it have been treated?
Will you remember the special white fluffy coat when you are charged with taking special care of something?
