There were 5 muddy pigs for goodness sake.
One jumped in and the mud washed away.
Now that pig is ready to play!

Literacy Tip
Make shared reading interactive. Before you begin a book, ask your child to look at the cover and predict what it will be about. Allow your child to turn the book’s pages. Ask questions as you read. When you finish the book, ask your child to retell the story. Tip courtesy of Saroj Groting at earlylit.net.
