The Big Five

(Updated 9/23/2022)

Have you read The Big Five by Bella Makatini yet?  If not, we recommend you check it out.

When you do, be prepared to invite these charming creatures into your lives. If it doesn't have you hooked just from the bright illustrations on the cover, then wait until you read what is inside.  It's a charming story about a boy, Danny, and his grandfather. While spending a week together, Danny's grandfather teaches Danny about the "Big Five" animals of Africa. Its simple text makes it ideal for younger grades, but do not let that stop you from using it with older learners.

Today we're serving up ways for you to enjoy this book with your Preschool, Kindergarten, or First Grade learners. But soon we'll be delivering methods for grades 2 on up. You see, here at Wolfe Stew, we believe that every ingredient holds value, it all depends on how you plate it!

When you come on safari with Wolfe Stew, your learner will:

• Act like an animal
• Dress for the weather
• Use ordinal numbers
• Sequence the animals
• Recall story details AND
• Plan their own week
