Harriet Gets Carried Away

pick

Revisited this one after a parent challenged it in the library today because the main character has two dads. It‘s a silly and fun adventure highlighting problem solving when plans fail, and super cute penguins. š§ š š�³

Harriet Gets Carried Away by Jessie Sima is a F-RA book about a little girl who loves wearing costumes. One day, she goes to the store with her dads and sees some penguins, then follows them all the way to their home! Then, she has to figure out how to get back to New York to be with her dads in time for her birthday party! #UCFLAE3414SP21

melodyp This book integrates diversity because Harriet has same-sex parents, but it is not explicitly talked about in the book - it‘s simply kind of in the background of the story - which is important because this normalizes diverse families for elementary students!
UDL 3.2 (highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships) and EL 3 (encourage self talk) are great strategies to use. 4y

melodyp This website https://duvalliteracyassociation.org/uploads/3/4/8/1/34813284/harriet_gets_carri... has some great extension activities for this book 4y

Sdemps This sounds like such a great read! I think the theme of the book would be just what students need in the classrooms The Duval Literary Association website also provided awesome activities for teachers to use along side this book. 4y

PatriciaS I loved š‘— dress up as a girl and all children love costumes this would be great for that activity in class, a must for my list, thank you for your review š‘¨. 4y

DrSpalding I am wondering if your kids enjoy wearing certain things. One of my sons would not take off his cowboy boots when he was three! Text to self connection. Helpful resource. 4y

Harriet loves to dress up. As her dads prepare for her birthday party Harriet dresses up as a penguin and gets a little too carried away. In fact, she gets carried away by penguins.

Harriet soon realizes that she wants to be back home with her dads, so she hatches a plan, helped by different animals, to get home before anyone realizes she‘s missing.

While this is a little long for my library storytime, my grade school age kids still loved it!
