Tonight we read, Sylvester & The Magic Pebble by William Steig. It is a Caldecott Medal book and a beloved classic about a donkey named Sylvester who finds a magic pebble that can make his wishes come true. Sylvester is so excited about his wondrous find, until a lion frightens him and he makes a wish that brings about unexpected results. The story unfolds with a happy ending as Sylvester is reunited with his family in another unexpected way.
Activity:
Tomorrow we are going to go pebble hunting and paint one of our pebbles RED, in honor of Sylvester.
