Mem Fox Story Time: June 24-25, 2013

Books:
Harriet, You'll Drive Me Wild by Mem Fox
Hattie and the Fox by Mem Fox
Hello Baby! by Mem Fox
Let's Count Goats! by Mem Fox *
The Magic Hat by Mem Fox *
A Particular Cow by Mem Fox
Possum Magic by Mem Fox *
Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes by Mem Fox
Time for Bed by Mem Fox
Where Is the Green Sheep? by Mem Fo

Craft: Goat Puppet (pictured above)
The puppet is made from a brown paper lunch bag that is cut down to 6".  I made a couple of changes from the original in that I drew the eyes onto the face rather than using googily eyes.  I also cut out horns from cardstock rather than using wooden spoons.

Literacy Extensions:
- Research the Australian foods mentioned in Possum Magic (i.e. vegamite, pavlova, etc.) to find out what they are.  If you feel adventurous, try eating some of the foods.
- Come up with rhyming words to go with different animals like in The Magic Hat (i.e. road and toad, balloon and babbon, etc.)
