We read Ping the other day. Me and the grade 1s. Ping is a baby duck, who once was pointing the "wrong way up" in the river when his master called them back onto the boat on the Yangtze River. Good cross-cultural thing going on here in this book.
So Ping got left behind... he didn't want to be the last duck up the ramp, 'cause he would get a SMACK! Long story short... Ping ends up on another boat and almost gets cooked for dinner, until a little boy decides he would rather his newfound friend go free...
The kids liked making the "smack!" sound when he finally returned home.
Then, we made little slide viewers so the kids could take it home and re-tell the story to their parents.
The dizzy/busy path of a teacher who is uncovering everything about what it means to be a librarian.
