Hey y’all! Ginger here with a new Page Turning Monday post!! I promise I haven’t forgot about them, just haven’t had much blogging time lately. So while we are making our trip back from vacation I thought I would try to get some post done 🙂
Today’s book is:
Written by Helen Ketteman and illustrated by James Warhola.
This books was originally referred to me by my daughter’s preschool teacher and then by chance a sweet friend borrowed it from the library and brought it over to read to my daughter last summer.
This is a fun fairytale that reverses the Cinderella story. A boy named Bubba lives on a ranch with his mean step dad and step brothers who make him do all the work. Then when a beautiful cowgirl is having a dance to find herself a cowboy Bubba isn’t allowed to go….but then something magical happens and he makes it! There is a twist that is different than Cinderella, but to find out you need to read the story!!
For some fun to go along with this story….
-Act out the story with your little one. Whether you have a girl or a boy or both, they will love acting out this cute story.
-Dress up like a cowboy and/or cowgirl.
-Go online and print off some cute coloring pages of cowboys and cowgirls. You can do this by a simple Google search.
-Use this as a time to talk about the west. Teach your little one about cowboys, cowgirls, ranches, farming, and gardening.
-If you have access to it take your little one on a field trip to a farm, let them see what ranchers do.
-I created a board on Pinterest with craft ideas a click here should take you there.
Well that’s all I have for this book.
Until next time,
Ginger
