The book I chose is Koala
Lou, by Mem Fox. The story is about a koala named
Koala Lou who seems to feel like she isn't getting enough love from her mom.
Her family has grown and her mom is now very busy with her younger siblings, so she seems to forget to tell
Koala Lou every day that she loves her. Koala Lou decides to enter the Bush
Olympics to get her mother's attention. After giving it her absolute
best, Koala Lou comes in second place, which makes her feel very sad and not
good enough. She does not win, but her mom, of course
tells her she loves her. I love this book especially for young children because it's a great story with the message
that trying is more important than succeeding and that your parents will love
you even if you fail.
For this story, I made up my own activity. The worksheet has
3 character traits the students will have to list and in addition they will
have to draw their favorite part of the story and write a sentence or two
explaining why it was their favorite part of the story.
