If You Give a Pig a Pancake
by: Laura Numeroff
In this week's chosen book, If You Give a Pig a Pancake, we see the story of a young girl and a pig who stumbles upon her making pancakes. It is a great book to use to teach children how to make predictions on the outcome and is also a lot of fun to do activities with!
Plot: A little girl learns what happens when you give a pig a pancake. One thing leads to another as the pig realizes it wants something different each time. In the end, the story comes back around to the pig wanting a pancake and the little girl is exhausted.
Fun Activities:
Make a "pig-friendly" pancake recipe.
Visit this website and look over the vocabulary words and activities. http://www.thevirtualvine.com/ifyougivea.html
Help your children develop their own "If you give a.." using their own ideas and predictions.
Create these cute pig noses for your child to wear while eating their pancakes: 1. Paint a Styrofoam cup pink and poke (or paint black) two small holes in the front. 2. Using yarn or any type of string, poke two small holes on the sides of the cup, and tie around your child's face. Viola', perfectly piggy!
