Spruce up a class reading of the children's book Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback with this fun series of activities. Starting with a list of reading comprehension questions and key vocabulary to address during a teacher read aloud, this resource goes on to offer a number of extension activities that create curricular connections with art, music, health, and science. A reading of this Caldecott Medal-winning book would make a perfect addition to a literature unit on folk tales in the primary grades.
