Hola all! Jennifer here with your latest Page Turning Monday!!
Today’s book is:
Piggie Pie
written by Margie Palatini amd illustrated by Howard Fine.
This book is about a witch who wakes up one morning and wants piggy pie, but when she compares her recipe to what she has, she realizes she needs plump piggys which she doesn’t have. PROBLEM! So she heads off to Old McDonald’s farm, but the piggys realize she is coming and dress up as other animals to hide from her.
The fun rhymes and wonderful illustrations make this book a fun read for you and your little one!
There are so many ideas that come to mind to go along with this book! I listed a few of mine below.
1. Crafts that involve witches, and there are tons of those on Pinterest! We made a witches hat last year out of an old party hat and a paper plate, it was lots of fun and ended up being a cute decoration! I plan on using it to decorate for many Halloweens to come and each time I look at it I will remember the fun we had. You can see pics and instructions under the post titled “W is for witch”.
2. Sing Old McDonald Has a Farm since in the book you visit his farm! Kids love this song and I think it is always fun to see how many animals you can think of!
3. Combine this book with a trip to a farm. How awesome would it be to see the animals in the book and pretend that pigs are dressed up in costumes to look like other animals!
4. Take this as a chance to talk about different animals. Their sounds, what they eat, how they live (pasture, hen house, pig pen), and what they provide for us.
5. And there are tons of farm animals crafts that you could do! Pinterest has an endless amount!!
I am sure you can come up with other ideas, those were just a few of mine.
I hope that you and your little one enjoy this book an have some fun with it!
Don’t forget to do something to make someone smile today!
Love,
Jennifer
