Our little penguins are sure to enjoy the friendships that develop in our story time's next two tales.
In Oliver Jeffer's Lost and Found, a boy finds a penguin on his front porch and assumes it must be lost. Because the penguin looks so sad, the boy goes to some lengths to help the penguin return to the South Pole. After spending many days and nights sharing stories and adventure on the high seas, the boy succeeds in reaching the penguin's home. The penguin looks sad once more. Preschoolers have an amazing grasp of the sort of emotions being explored in this story and enjoy discussing what was really lost and what was really found.
We will round out our story time with Eric Carle's, Do You Want to be my Friend? Virtually textless, the story is supplied by Carle's amazing pictures and prompts. This story has suspense, comedy, countless opportunities for predictions, and friendship, of course!
