This week in the library, Kindergarten shared two very silly stories. The first, The Loopy Coop Hensis about a trio of hens who are in love with a rooster who can fly. Well, the hens seem to believe he can. In this whimsical tale by Janet Morgan Stoeke, the hens discover there is a reason why Rooster Sam is so aloof…but they still adore him! In our second story, Charlie the Ranch Dogby Ree Drummond, Charlie the Ranch dog works hard to keep the farm running, but he never misses an opportunity for a bacon snack and a snooze! This story is based upon the author’s real life dog and includes a picture of Charlie on the back. Kindergartners considered what make a book funny and why humorous books are fun to listen to. Here are some of their responses:
“When it’s funny, it makes me smile.”
“Funny books aren’t sad books.”
“It is fun to see people do things you know they shouldn’t.”
“People are smarter than animals.So animal books are always funny.”
We concluded with book browsing and checkout.
