Dewey the library cat is having his first Christmas. He likes toplay with the decorations and has a grand time with the red yarn. While alone at night, he climbs up and down the decorated christmas tree dragging the yarn with him. When the librarian arrives in the morning she discovers the rearranged tree and immediately removes it from the library. We find that she had entered it in a decorating competition and won first place.
My kinder and first graders listened to this book, then each student created a similar ornament to this in the story and we built an identical tree, complete with wandering yarn, the Dewey Loves Christmas sign, books underneath, and all. The kids enjoyed doing text-to-world comparisons between our tree and the illustration.
