This resource was very helpful in bringing stories to life for my students with disabilities. The puppets gave it a hands on feel for them and they were able to interact with the book much more than just reading.

This is perfect for students to complete in Grade 2 after reading the book aloud. I had students reenact the story individually and with small groups using their character props. Great for retell.
This book is very funny and kids love it
