Audience: Grades 3-5
Overview: This book tells the stories of an adventurous chicken in four short chapters. Each chapter tells about one of Louise's crazy adventures, however she always winds up missing the warm, safe farm and returns home. This book makes a great read aloud because it isn't too wordy and has great illustrations!
Activity: After reading this book as a class, students could create additional chapters in small groups telling about more adventures that Louise goes on. Students should each be responsible for at least a page of the chapter and will have to work together to make sure the pages coordinate with the story that they want to tell. Illustrations should be drawn for each page as well.
