Jack and the Beanstalk by Steven Kellogg is a story told for a long time and can be easily acted out with a class about a little boy who meets the giant because he sells all he has for beans.

==3. Brown bear, Brown bear, what do you see? by Eric Carle is such a delightful book of a variety of animals who are asked what they see and the reader seeing the clue on the next page guesses who they see before they turn the page. I love to sing this song after we read it through the first time.==
