This is a clever story about a young hedgehog, who is not very careful with her books. She winds up destroying a book that she has checked out from the library. We then find out what she has to do to remedy the problem.
After we read the book, we had a student come up front and put on a doctors white coat, a stethoscope and a pair of glasses. We then asked the students "What do doctors do for us?" (They help us take good care of our bodies.) We then told them that we wanted them to all be "Book Doctors" this year and help us take good care of our books. We then showed a beat up discarded book and we labeled it with several diseases. ---Chronic Crayon Scribble-itis, ---Acute water wave inflammation, ---Perforated Pet Puncture Wound, ---Sticky bubble Gum Adhesion, --- Chronic Slimy Ketchup Splatter, ---Lacerated Tear of the Final Page. We would turn to the diseased pages and then ask the students what we could all do to help prevent these awful book diseases. The students loved the doctors costume and it was fun to hear what they would do to take care of their books.
We did this with Kindergarten through 3rd grade.
