This would be a great story for retell with 1st grade! They could recount the events that took place in the correct order. They could do this in a number of ways- retell cards, popsicle stick retell with picture clues glued on them, digital storytelling apps, and even through simple discussion.
I love this book! I think it would be a great book to use for retelling as well. Students would enjoy reading this book, and it would be fun for students to retell the events that occurred in the story. There are so many ways for students to retell events that occurred. You could even have them illustrate the main events from the story!
