Learning from Illustrations

Help the class define what is meant by a story's setting and time. Tell children that illustrations can sometimes help them understand where and when a story takes place. Have students look through the book's illustrations to locate clues that tell about where Flossie and the Fox takes place (a warm, rural, woodsy setting). Then, have them look for clues (e.g., clothing, toys) that help tell when (in time) the story takes place.
