We shared some great stories and flannel rhymes about finding, cooking and eating food!\u00a0 Well it wasn’t just about food!\u00a0 The books we read taught us about sharing, doing great things (even when you are small), and guarding against false assumptions.\u00a0 Sound deep?\u00a0 Yes, it was!\u00a0 But it was also fun!<\/p>\n

Here are the books, songs, flannel boards,\u00a0action rhymes and video we shared.<\/p>\n

Books We Read<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In Morris Mole<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Dan Yaccarino, we meet a mole who isn’t at all like his brothers; he dresses differently, is not as loud and is much, much tinier.\u00a0 That doesn’t mean Morris can’t make a difference.\u00a0 When his BIG brothers decide to dig deeper to get more food, Morris gets the bright idea that they should dig higher.\u00a0 No one hears his idea, but he gathers up the courage to go it alone!\u00a0 When he emerges from the dirt, he sees a world full of food choices and other beautiful things.\u00a0 He also runs into a dangerous fox but he solves that problem too.\u00a0 A great story that teaches little ones that they are never too small to make an impact.<\/p>\n

The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Mo Willems is funny and imparts a great message about sharing.\u00a0 The pigeon finds a scrumptious hot dog and can’t wait to eat it.\u00a0 There’s just one obstacle, a little duckling who asks way too many questions.\u00a0 Of course we see the duckling try to guilt the Pigeon into sharing his meal…do you think it worked? Read the story to find out!<\/p>\n

Chicken Soup<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Joan van Leeuwen teaches us that we shouldn’t always assume the worst! When the farm animals begin whispering to each other the message gets a little convoluted.\u00a0 By the time the chickens hear it, they’ve come to the conclusion that the farmer is looking for live chickens to make chicken soup.\u00a0 YIKES!\u00a0 All of the chickens run to hide.\u00a0 However, little chick has a cold in his beak and he lags behind.\u00a0 One too many sneezes take him right into the hands of the farmer.\u00a0 Don’t worry though, there is a happy ending!\u00a0 The farmer’s wife just wanted to serve her little chick some “vegetable” soup so he’d feel better.<\/p>\n
