“The Creature of Habit” Summary:
On the island of Habit lived a very large creature who did the exact same thing every day in the same way. It all was well until a very small creature showed up and introduced absolute madness of perhaps doing things differently at all times depending on how one was feeling. Sometimes the very small creature slept in and sometimes he stayed up late. The chaotic ways of the very small creature cause the very large creature stress and anxiety. After all, if things are done differently who knows what can happen. Little by little, the very big creature learns that it’s ok to try new things. Sometimes new things are better and sometimes they are not.
“The Creature of Habit” teaches us that adventure is out there only if we give it a try. It comes perfectly in time for Read Across America, it makes it a perfect follow-up for “Green Eggs and Ham” read.
Since “The Creature of Habit” is a picture book for the little people, preschoolers, and primary students, it is perfect for teaching about a sequence of events/days, size sorting, opposites, new vocabulary, character traits, tolerance, cause and effect, story elements, reading skills, and much, much more.
