ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Awnie's House ???? Kids Book Read Aloud: THE LITTLE MOUSE, THE RED, RIPE STRAWBERRY AND THE BIG HUNGRY BEAR
Hello, friend! Today, we’re going to read a fun story called “The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear.” Are you ready? Let’s begin!
Once upon a time, there was a little mouse. He found a big, red, ripe strawberry. Yum! What do you think he will do with it? He has a ladder. Maybe he will use it to pick the strawberry!
But wait! There’s a big hungry bear who loves strawberries. Oh no! The bear can smell a red ripe strawberry from far, far away. The little mouse looks surprised. He didn’t know about the bear!
The big hungry bear will come stomping through the forest to find the strawberry. He can find it no matter where it’s hidden. What can the little mouse do?
There’s only one way to keep the strawberry safe from the bear. The little mouse can cut the strawberry in half and share it with a friend. Would you like to share it with him? Yum, let’s eat it all up together!
Now, the big hungry bear won’t get the strawberry. Hooray! The little mouse and his friend enjoyed the delicious strawberry.
Did you like the story? What’s your favorite book? Let me know! And remember, sharing is a great way to enjoy something special with friends.
Strawberry Sharing Game: Gather some toy fruits or paper cutouts of strawberries. Pretend to be the little mouse and the big hungry bear. Practice sharing the strawberries with your friends or family members. How does it feel to share? Can you think of other things you can share with your friends?
Bear’s Scent Hunt: Just like the big hungry bear can smell strawberries from far away, let’s play a scent game! Ask an adult to hide a few scented items (like an orange peel or a cinnamon stick) around the room. Close your eyes and use your nose to find them. What did you find? How did you know where to look?
Draw Your Own Story: Imagine you are the little mouse. Draw a picture of what you would do to keep the strawberry safe from the bear. Would you hide it, share it, or something else? Share your drawing with the class and explain your idea.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hi, I’m Ani! Welcome to my house. Today we’re going to read “The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear” by Don and Audrey Wood, illustrated by Don Wood. If you have your own copy, go get it so you can read along with me.
Hello, little mouse! What are you doing? Look, he has a ladder! What do you think he’s going to do with that ladder? Oh, I see! Are you going to pick that red ripe strawberry?
But little mouse, haven’t you heard about the big hungry bear? Oh, I don’t think he heard about him. Look, he looks kind of surprised!
How that bear loves red ripe strawberries! The big hungry bear can smell a red ripe strawberry a mile away. Look, he’s shaking it so hard! He wants to pick that strawberry really badly, especially one that has just been picked.
Oops! Boom, boom, boom! The bear will drop through the forest on his big hungry feet, and the strawberry—no matter where it is hidden, or who is guarding it, or how it is disguised—he’ll find it!
Quick! There’s only one way in the whole wide world to save a red ripe strawberry from the big hungry bear: cut it in two and share half with me! Look, he wants to give you half. Take your half! You got your hat?
And we’ll both eat it all up! Mmm, yum! You got your strawberry? Eat it all up!
Now that’s one red ripe strawberry the big hungry bear will never get!
