The Grouchy Ladybug :by Eric Carle (1977)

 The Grouchy Ladybug By: Eric Carle touches on the topics of sequencing , naming, size, dispute, respect, fighting, being nice, and even time (Eric Carle includes the time of day on each page).  I have included a link of the story being read aloud for my viewers : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFNZvJbzmms  as well as a link to a page that includes ideas and projects for the book within the classroom : http://www.djinkers.com/photo_gallery.php?pid=207 Something that the teacher did in the example below (picture of bulletin board) demonstrates the types of the activities that teachers can use to incorporate the message from The Grouchy Ladybug with academic learning.  The activity asks the students to think of what makes them grouchy like the ladybug, and could be used as a method to teach children to reflect on their own behaviors and attitudes. The story teachers children that being mean to one another is not the answer and promotes peace.
