About Two Mice in New York: A Holiday Adventure
The star to the New York Rockefeller Christmas Tree is missing. Visitors come from all over the world to see the tree, and without the star, it will not be the same. Join two French mice, Azura and Afrodille, as they map out a plan in New York City to search for the missing star.
Along with Madame Bella, the two mice make stops at Times Square, The Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and the Empire State Building in search of clues to find the missing star. The traveling companions even enlist the help of Frankie, a cool subway rat, and his rat pack, to help in the search. Enjoy a holiday adventure in “The Big Apple” that celebrates Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve.

Critical Thinking and Communication
1. Group students into three teams.
2. Identify the three problems that Azura and Afrodille encountered when trying to meet the queen. Make a photocopy of each of the problems from pages in the book and put each problem in the center of a piece of bulletin board paper.
3. Have students move to one of the three problems and discuss how the two mice could have successfully navigated that problem to turn it in to a successful solution that would allowed the two mice to meet the Queen. Have students write down their alternative solutions to the problem on the bulletin board paper.
4. Have students review problem and then present their alternative solutions to the class.

Communication
Each year, New York City hosts an event for the lighting of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree featuring a program of song and dance. Work with your classmates to plan your kickoff event for your own classroom tree (see next slide). What entertainment would be featured (consider songs, poems, creative dance, etc.)? Consider putting on a talent show for parents and guests highlighting your class tree and the holiday season (including Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas, and New Years).
