Five Little Fishies
I turned this Dr.
Jean song into a Big Book. It is on her CD,
Dr.
Jean Sings Silly Songs. I found fish clip art that I
printed and glued onto the page. *You can also make this book
interactive by putting Velcro on these or foam fish and letting the
students attach them.

I See A Circus
Often, the graphics
inspire me to make a predictable big book. I used the "I see..."
pattern and circus themed graphics from Carson Dellosa for this
book.

What Is A Pet?
I found a bulletin
board set on clearance and decided to use it for a predictable big
book. I used the predictable sentence "What is a pet? A ___ is a
pet." with the appropriate picture of the pet.
*You
can also make this book interactive by putting Velcro on the pets
instead of gluing them down. Pass them out to the children and let
them attach the pet.

Brilliant Butterflies
I used the Ellison
machine to make a die cut for each page. I put all colors of
butterflies on the cover and last page of the book and the correct
color of butterfly on the appropriate page. *You
can also make this book interactive by putting Velcro on the
butterflies instead of gluing them down. Pass them out to the
children and let them put on the butterfly that fits the
clue.

Pond Peek
A Boo Pond Book
I created the graphics for this book with
Microsoft Clip Art. The book is predictable and the order does not
matter. I made it into a "Peek A Boo" book with holes to give
a clue about what the next animal will be.
Cut out words. Color and cut pond
pictures. On cover, glue title at the top and words “Who lives at
the pond?” at the bottom. Cut out a hole. On the next page,
position and glue first picture to show part of the animal (enough
to give a clue) through the hole. Glue the words “A ____ lives at
the pond.” at the top. Glue the words “Who lives at the pond?” at
the bottom of the page. Cut a hole. On the next page, position and
glue the second picture to show part of the animal through the hole.
Continue with all animals. Laminate and bind book.

Peek a Boo Ocean Book
This book is similar
to the Peek a Boo Pond Book. I found the pictures in the book
I Can Make It! I Can Read It!
Summer. The book is predictable and the order does not matter. I
made it into a "Peek A Boo" book with holes to give a clue about
what the next animal will be. I cut out the words and colored/cut
out the ocean animal pictures.
On cover, glue
title "Peek a Boo Ocean Book" at the top and words "Peek a boo! I
see you. Who lives in the sea?”. Cut out a hole. On the
next page, position and glue first picture to show part of the
animal (enough to give a clue) through the hole. Glue the words “A
____ lives in the ocean.” at the top. Glue the words “Peek a boo! I
see you. Who lives in the sea?” at the bottom of the page. Cut
a hole. On the next page, position and glue the second picture to
show part of the animal through the hole. Continue with all animals.
Laminate and bind.

Community Helper Clues
I found the
pictures and clues in the book 100 Riddles Poems for Pocket
Charts. Cut poster board in half. Color and cut out the pictures
and occupation. Glue in 2 rows onto the poster board. Cut 2nd
half of the poster board into strips. Careful to line up with
pictures, glue clues onto the strips. Laminate board and strips.
Tape strips onto the board, covering the pictures. Cut upward on
strip to create small “flip book clues” over each picture. Laminate
and Velcro flaps shut.

Who Lives At the
Zoo?
I
found the words and graphics in the I Can Make It, I Can Read It
series from the Mailbox magazine. I cut out the words and glued them
to the construction paper. I colored and cut out each animal. Attach
the animals to the appropriate page to the page with Velcro squares.
Before reading, I pass out the animals. While reading, students
attach animal to book in sequential order.
