Tawny Scrawny Lion

One of my favorite things about having all the kids in school is that I can now volunteer in the classrooms. When I had little ones at home this was never an option. Yesterday I had the privilege of reading in Dan's class. The Tawny Scrawny Lion is one of our families favorite books. Many of the kindergartners had not heard this book which kind of surprised me. They were all very excited to hear the book and could hardly wait for me to read the next page. One little boy in particular really wanted the lion to eat all the other animals and became very sad at the end of each page when that did not happen. It was hilarious and part of me wanted to make up an alternate ending just for him where the lion has delicious rabbit stew. Afterwards I went to Art Class with them and helped with their paper mache penguins. All the little kids kept asking me if I would get that book back out about the skinny lion. The best part.... Dan still thinks I'm cool:) I've still got him in the dark on that little secret:)
