Discussion questions

Puppet talk

  1. How does moving your hand change what your puppet is feeling?
  2. What is your puppet's name and personality?
  3. How can your puppet show happy, then surprised, without any words?

Book link: Alexander T. Wolf tells his side of the story in *The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs*. Read (or reread) the story together, then use your puppet to retell your favorite part.

Quick work-a-long
