What's Inside
Use this short seasonal book with children who are learning holiday words and talking about familiar traditions. It works well before or after a holiday read-aloud, especially if you want to talk about stockings and candy canes.
The opening line invites children to think about a Grinch Green candy cane and what that might mean. As you read, children can practice color words, make predictions from a title and a single line, and connect the idea to their own holiday experiences.
It is a good fit for first and second graders, and also for younger children who enjoy simple seasonal language and guided conversation.
