If You Give a Moose a Muffin
This story is about a moose who wants a muffin. After wanting a muffin it leads him to want something else, then something else, and so on. By the end of the story he returns to his original want. This story would probably work best in a first or second grade classroom. An activity with this story would be to work on cause and effect with the students. The students could explain the original want (cause) lead to another want (effect). The students could also give a real life example to show they truly understand the material. I'm sure there are several other activities one could find in order to use this book in the classroom.
