Genre: Fiction
Theme: Animals/Concepts of Size
Ages: 4-8
Summary: This is a story about a Squid who is comparing himself to other things and creators around him in the sea. He declares that he is the biggest thing of them all until he gets swallowed up by a much larger whale.
Pre-Reading Activity: Have students name some things they might see in the Ocean. Have partners discuss the different animals or fish that live in the ocean. Have them keep track to see if the things they thought of will be mentioned in the book.
Post-Reading Activity: Have students compare objects and numbers for size or quantity. Tie into math lesson about greater than, less than, or equal to.
Reflection: This is such a cute little story. The squid is often in too large a view to fit on the page of the book. There are bright vivid colors and the text is large and exciting. It will make children laugh when they find out that the squid had an inflated ego all along.
