Mo Willems Story Time: July 17-18, 2017

Books:
Edwina, The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct by Mo Willems
Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems
Leonardo, The Terrible Monster by Mo Willems *
The Pigeon Wants a Puppy! by Mo Willems *
We Are in a Book! by Mo Willems *

Craft: Walrus Puppet
The children colored the pieces of a walrus's face (eyes, tusk, cheeks) before gluing them to a paper bag to make into a puppet.

Literacy Extensions:
- Mo Willems is a great way to introduce children to comic strips as his Cat the Cat, Elephant and Piggie, and Pigeon books are all very simple forms of comics.  Point out the speech bubbles and how they are linked to specific characters to tell who is talking.
- After reading Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs, have your child "retell" another fairy tale replacing some of the characters with dinosaurs.
