The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin

Simple Schooling presents Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin.  This charming story tells the tale of the frisky Nutkin.  When all the other squirrels are being well-mannered and hard working, Nutkin is goofing off, playing games, and telling riddles to annoy generous Old Brown.  Nutkin soon learns his lesson, but not until Old Brown has his final say!

This freebie from Simple Schooling includes an explanation of why squirrels gather nuts, a primer on trees that complements our October Nature Study unit on trees, leaves, and seeds, a first or second events worksheet, an identifying worksheet that tests their memory of the story and picture sequence cards that will make remembering and thinking critically about the story fun!

ENJOY!
