Know-Your-Environment Storybook

We've confirmed our storybook with Mr.Mike today, and he suggested us to do some research on;

• Looking at stories for preschoolers (4 - 6 years old) and find out what they like to see
• Come up with suitable learning objectives and outcomes
• Create a trio characters as the main characters 

From there, we've listed down the possible learning objectives that we hope to cover. 

1. To enable kids to understand the consequences of their actions

2. To enable kids to understand the importance of taking care Mother Nature

3. To differentiate right from wrong

4. To encourage kids to participate in preserving the Earth

5. To enable kids to visualize the impact of their actions

6. To make kids learn new words

Then, we tried to decide on the characters for our trios. Instead of using humanoid characters, we've decided to go with animals as they would appeal to the preschoolers more than humanoid characters. 

We've decided to go with; a fox, an owl and a raccoon. 

As for our art direction, we've listed down the examples that we could refer to. 

1. Dr.Seuss

2. Peter and Jane

3. Berenstain Bears

4. Mo Willems 

5. Harold and the Purple Crayon

6. Mog the Cat

7. Splat the Cat 

We've also manage to cover up abit on the storyline, but it has yet to be confirmed. But we've managed to narrow down the whole story to be focused onto 'Recycling' as the main theme of the book.
