Lazy Little Loafers

Written by Susan Orlean
Illustrated by G. Brian Karas

This book tries to answer the question, "Why don't more babies work?" For any child who has had to deal with a baby in their family getting too much attention, this story will be highly entertaining. Learn all of the secret tricks that babies do to keep from having to work.

Ideas and Activities:

After reading the story, have a baby relay race where students have to diaper a baby doll (or stuffed animal), put it in a stroller (with sunglasses on, of course), etc.

This is a great book to use to talk about sibling rivalry.
