The book keeps a tally of the number of animals that the rooster meets on every page. On his way home, he passes them again, and the numbers of animals counts backward. This story is good for beginning readers who are learning to count. ( )'Rooster's Off To See The World' by Eric Carle is a story about a rooster that wants to travel the world. He sets out on his trip around the world and sees other animals and invites them on the journey. Once the trip gets long and the animals are hungry and homesick they begin to leave the rooster to head back home. Once the rooster is all alone, he too becomes very homesick and decides he will end his trip around the world. The rooster falls asleep and dreams of a trip around the world. This book is colorful and great for all elementary students. A rooster sets out to see the world. On his way he meets some friends that go on the journey with him. As night comes they all get scared though and everyone goes back home. The rooster is sad that he didnt see the world but he then decides he will go back home. A rooster decided to take a trip around the world. Once he had been traveling a while, he got lonely. He met two cats and they came along. Next three frogs joined, then four turtles, and finally five fish. It began to get dark and some of the animals got cold, tired, and hungry. One group at a time left to go home, until only the rooster was left. Even the moon disappeared. The rooster went home as well, ate a nice grain dinner and went to sleep on his own perch. This was a very good book, easy for young children to read for themselves or hear and understand. The pictures were vibrant and beautiful, and I thought the number sequence was great. I enjoyed the subtle lesson about the comforts of home, children would easily relate. 1) Students could create their own sequence of animals, practice of numbers, counting, and animals. 2) Discuss with students how fun it is to go on a trip, but also how nice it is to come home again. This is about a rooster who decides to see the world. Along the way he meets 2 cats, then 3 frogs, 4 turtles, and finally 5 fish. The rooster does not plan well and every one gets hungry and tired. They all decide to leave. The rooster goes home eats then dreams about a trip around the world. This book would be a great read aloud. It presents the numbers 1-5. no reviews | add a review
