Flannel Friday - Happy Hippo, Angry Duck

I love Sandra Boynton's books, but they are so darn small! For sharing with a large group, why not make a felt set of Boynton's comical characters?  I've shared this one in Baby Story Time several times, but toddlers and preschoolers would enjoy her humor, too!  This book of moods is also easy enough to retell without even using the book (if you're feeling daring ;) )

 Happy Hippo, Angry Duck: a book of moods by Sandra Boynton

 

"Are you happy as a hippo? Or angry as a duck?"

 

 

"Maybe sad as a chicken? (Can you sadly say "Cluck Cluck"?)"

 

 

"Are you grumpy as a moose? Or excited as a dog?"

 

 

"Worried as a rabbit? Contented as a frog?"

 

 

"Perhaps, like a pig, you are sweetly amused. Or

perhaps, like a cow, you're completely confused."

 

 

"...Or you're frazzled like a...um...frazzled thing.

(I'm not sure what it is.)"

 

 

 

Hope you have a Happy Hippo kind of day! And watch out for that duck! ("He's always this way.")Happy Flannel Friday!
