BRIEF OVERVIEW: This
story is about a family living in a cold dark place. They
believe they are being attacked by the giant monster. They
decide to fight back and end up all getting separated. The Shiver family ends up
finding themselves all together again happy and warm in the end on the fridge
as magnets where they live.
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: I
would introduce the idea of magnetism to the class based on The Shivers in the Fridge and use examples
from what the text says about magnets
