Or this website from WorryWiseKidsabout overcoming negative thinking. Are there ways to turn a “NO” into a “YES”?Ĭheck out this website for ways to deal with negative thinking. Which collage has the most pictures? Discuss how to fill up the page with more “YES” things. Make two collages, one for “No” things and one for “YES” things. Discuss the features of each dinosaur that clue the viewer in to how each dinosaur is feeling. Use pictures from the book or draw dinosaurs that look angry, grumpy, happy, or sad. Discuss how it feels to go from being an angry dinosaur to a happy one. Highly recommended!Īct out Noah Noasaurus. It is just soo much fun to get all that negativity out in the open and then let it dissipate. I can see kids wanting to turn this into a play or taking Noah’s part in a read aloud. Noah Noasauraus flashed a wide smile and shouted…Ĭolin Jack’s illustrations are so playful and expressive, you don’t have to be able to read a word to witness Noah’s transformation. “Is there anything better than a muddy parade with friends?”” In a tantrum-laden, stomping, huffing, mud-splattered scene, Noah learns to laugh at himself and with his friends, and finally reaches the “right side of the bed” as he answers the question:
And thankfully, Noah’s friends don’t give up on this negative kid. One by one, more dinosaurs join in the effort. “Nowhere? Ooooooh, that sounds fun! I’ll come with you!”
“Good morning, Noah Noasaurus,” said Toby Rex. He cuts them short, slams the door on the way out of his house, and is instantly greeted by one of his friends.
What part of “NO” don’t we understand? Then Noah’s mother, brother, and father try to placate the little nay-sayer with food, games or other tasty treats.
