Wordless Books

'Tell Me a Story' was the theme of this storytime where my LLFs got to tell the story that they saw in the pictures. We looked at Jerry Pinkney's beautiful Caldecott Medal winning book, The Lion and the Mouse. We also looked at Chalk by Bill Thomson. Very fun! Then I dramatized the story with items I had around the library including a very big and scary dinosaur! Ahhhh!

So, I made a black bag with stars and moons on it. Put chalk in it. Had an umbrella. Found the bag. Drew on the chalkboard and it all came to life- the sun, the butterfly, the dinosaur! I hope they had fun!
