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: This cow types on a typewriter in Doreen Cronin's *Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type*. Read (or reread) the story together, then use your puppet to retell your favorite part.

Quick work-a-long

Try it: Slip your puppet on and act out a feeling with no words. Can a friend guess it?
