Library Skills: What Happened to Marion's Book?

What happened to Marion’s Book?

Meet Marion the Hedgehog who discovers that she really might not take good care of her books in What Happened to Marion’s Book? by Brooke Berg. This unit is designed to teach and/or remind your students of the importance of taking good care of their books whether they are personal, school, or library books. It also includes activities to encourage students to listen for facts from texts and oral presentations and then use those facts for a project. Additionally, there are opportunities for students to conduct research on the fun topic of hedgehogs.

Created as a unit, the lesson plan includes a variety of activities for students to respond to their learning as they listen to the book. There are also suggestions to extend these lessons to deepen understanding or provide further learning challenges for students. The lesson plan is edible so that you can adjust it to best meet your instructional needs.

Activities include:

•Drawing and writing about one or more book care rules

•Comparison and Contrasting Marion to students and actual hedgehogs

•Research Ideas

•Word Search for story vocabulary

•Identifying good versus bad book habits

•Book Care Bookmark

My first graders adore this book and they stay quite engaged with the activities!

Note: What Happened to Marion’s Book? By Brooke Berg is no longer in print but there are several read alouds available on You Tube.
