Elephant, Mouse, and all their friends work together and have fun. "Just a Little Bit" is a sweet story about friendship and teaches us all a great lesson. As it was inscribed to me by my friend, "Keep this book on hand to remind you at times when you may be tempted to give up on something, that it may just be that next little bit of effort, that little extra push that makes a world of difference." This book made me smile and I loved the illustrations too!
If you just buy one book for your kids or grand kids this is the one to buy! I love it and use it to teach about friendship and that everyone is needed and special. The story is about an elephant and a friend who want to play on the see saw together. More friends come to try and help off set the weight of the elephant but no matter what they just can't do it. Along comes a fly and he lands on the other animals and just like that the see saw weight is enough to lift the elephant. So you see, EVERYONE is needed no mater how small!!
I teach Kindergarten and used this story to introduce weight. It is a very cute story about an Elephant wanting to see saw with his friend Mouse but Elephant can't get off the ground because he is much heavier than Mouse. Elephant's friends come to the rescue one at a time to add weight to Mouse's end of the see saw until a small surprise ending gets the job done!
The story is cute, but the illustrations is what did it for me. We love reading this book with my 3yo!
From the illustrator of the "Tacky the Penguin" books comes this little visual treasure, a story book that shows-and-tells about balance -- and cooperation!The animals are a total hoot -- the giraffe sits side-saddle, among other things, and the expressions on their faces as they all cramon the seesaw are just perfect.(First time I ever saw a lady lion with a mane, though.)
very cute story ... just a little bit more! My daughter loves to say ..."And Nothing Happened." until the smallest of creatures was able to tip the scale!
This would be a cute story even without a positive lesson, but the fact that it promotes cooperation, teamwork, and "try, try again" makes it even better. The preschoolers in my classes always love it. Remember, what may seem like a cliched, overworked idea to us grownups is still fresh to young children!
