"Silly Sally went to town, walking backwards, upside down." So begins this playful picture book by well-known children's author Audrey Wood.
The main character encounters different animals, and does a certain action with each one (a jig with a pig and leapfrog with a dog).
One idea would be to create a whole dance using the entire text, for students in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.
Another idea would be to read the book to your students and then play with some of the key concepts, especially ways of moving backwards and upside down. Use the book as a starting to point to explore many ways of moving backwards and upside down (or the concept of "direction" in general).
