Ten on the Sled by Kim Norman
This is a precious book that is about ten animals who speed down the hill on a sled. One-by-one, the animals fall of the sled until only Caribou is left on the sled. At the end, all of the animals jump back onto the sled because Caribou is lonely.
The only way to enjoy this book is to have students act it out while singing the words to the tune of ("10 in the Bed"). I began this activity by giving each student a name tag with the picture and name of one of the animals from the story. We read (sang) the story while students listened to what their animal does in the story. Next, we acted it out while reading/singing the story.

Oh my goodness, Mrs. Biamont, this is delightful! I am so proud and pleased to see your students acting out my book. Great acting and singing! I'll be sure to pass on this link to Liza Woodruff, our clever illustrator. She'll be tickled to see it, too.
