(There are so many rodents in children’s books! Nocturnal, squirmy - it makes sense.) Anyway, about a rodent, and about cakes and icing, illustrated with color photographs. That also goes becomes a with tell of the neighbors aren't trading food for because they are lacking socks.I remembered vaguely one book I loved, about a rodent. Everything from the frame of the house, furnishings, and the tree. You can tell our main character are poor especially when you compare to the other couple in the story. The illustration actually tell more of the story than the text to the point the text is pretty much useless. They are really simple but with this simplicity there is a lot of charm and personality. That alone shows how good of a story it is as payment reaches the climax of the story in such a simple fashion. Not to waist time but to strengthen the readers intrigue of what will happen when the farmer runs out of shirt. Notice how it repeats the same scene four times. The story is short, and to the point but it also likes to play around. If you never read this book this cover would really be deceptive but also true to form all at the same time. Students could also figure out how many pairs of socks were made.
What would they be willing to trade to receive something of greater importance? Students could also calculate the number of cheese the couple received. Students can learn about trade and money. The rich couple had plenty of milk and cheese and clothing but knew how important it was to the poor couple. Students learn a great deal about giving and how kind others can be.
The sweater does not fit the man, so they give it as a gift to the poor man who they noticed no longer had a sweater. The couple with plenty was using the yarn of the socks to also make a sweater. Soon the sweater is completely gone and they no longer have anything to trade for milk and cheese. The poor couple starts to use thread from the man's sweater to make more socks so they can trade for more milk and cheese. The family that has the milk and cheese will happily trade for the socks. They do not have much to trade but find a pair of socks to trade. Food that would be considered a delicacy to them. This is a great story about kindness, giving, money and the importance of being kind to others.Ī poor couple is wanting to trade some of their belongings for milk and cheese.
