If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a perfect book to use when your class is ready to learn about cause and effect. They consider the meanings of the words cause and effect as you read the story. Working together you'll identify, discuss, and chart each cause and effect relationship encountered in the story. Tip: Try to introduce the idea of cause and effect by setting up and then knocking down a line of dominos. It is a concrete example kids will love discussing.
