Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
I really like this book. It would be a great book for talking about seeing things from other's perspectives or walking in someone else's shoes. Each page has an animal and it says that the animal is seeing the animal on the next page. The last animal sees a teacher and the teacher then sees children and the children see all the animals and their teacher. It might be fun to do a swapping of roles for this story and have all the students switch off reading a page of this story to their teacher. I also really like the big cut out animals. They are made of simple shapes yet show allot of movement and energy, which I don't think is an easy thing to pull off, considering the limited materials they used. It's a simple but fun book and I think you could do allot it with in a classroom, creatively. As an art student, it might be fun to do an art project from this book where the students "see" their classmates and do a collage of another student, who does a collage of someone else and so on.
