The moose and the canoe

Julia, Sophia's daycare teacher, shared this story with me yesterday.  During their circle time, Julia read a book that was new to the kids about animals in a canoe.  I guess the canoe starts out empty and each animal takes a turn getting into the canoe.  The second to the last page shows the full canoe and a moose waiting to get on.  Sophia then pipes up, "They won't fit". She was the only one who said anything like it.  Sure enough, on the last page, it shows the canoe tipped over.

Julia was pretty impressed that Sophia made the connection before seeing the last page.  So am I!  She's a logical thinker, which is not a surprise given her parents are both logical thinkers.  Julia's story made me so proud.  That's my girl!
