Junkyard Town: create a town like the one Lynn Munsinger drew using boxes, plastic bottles, cardboard tubes and other recyclable items. Don't forget houses for Rat and Dog!
Acrostic Poem: have students write the word FRIEND vertically down the page. Then ask them to write a new line about friendship with each letter of the word.
Build a Sandwich: Rat and Dog are brought together by a foot long salami sandwich. Create your own sandwich athome or in the classroom with all the fixings.
Experiment with Watercolor: Lynn Munsinger uses watercolors to create her wonderful illustrations. Try experimenting with them by wetting a piece of watercolor paper, then applying the watercolor paint onto the wet paper for a soft, blurry effect.
