If You Give a Pig a Party
written by Laura Numberoff, illustrated by Felicia Bond
Picture books are wonderful teaching tools to jumpstart writing ideas or, as in our “pick”, to get kids to think about using “alliteration” in their writing. If You Give a Pig a Party, by Laura Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond. By now, we know what happens if you give a mouse a cookie, give a moose a muffin, and give a pig a pancake: you’ll have a mess on your hands! Numeroff and Bond give us a new installment in If You Give a Pig a Party. You might ask, “What will she ask for first?” Answer: “...she’s going to ask for some balloons.” See if your students can create a story that uses alliteration (same starting sounds) in the title or
often throughout their story. Laura Numeroff Web Site:
