I created the activity below prior to choosing a book to be paired with it. The activity is a picture of a house with labeled rooms and cut outs of different household items. After creating the activity, I struggled to find a book that would fit well with this theme. When it came to me, I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it sooner. "In A People House" by Theo LeSieg follows a bird and mouse through a house as they talk about all the things you might find in a person's home. The simplicity and rhyme make it a good book to be tied into literature lessons while the illustrations are charming. This was one of my favorite books as a child and I was so excited to incorporate it into a lesson.
