Mom said, "I have to go hunt for our lunch. Wait here until I get back."

Terry's Tips

On this page, children are asked to make a connection between the character and themselves. When children connect a story to their own life, it helps them understand and remember what they read.

Extension Activity: Children can do many things by themselves, but sometimes they need help. Gus needs his mom to hunt for him. Ask children to think about activities they can do alone and activities they need help for. Ask them to draw a picture or make a list of the different activities.
