I read the book Scranimals by Jack Prelutsky with Mrs. Carreon's class today.
It is a poetry book where the author takes two things, like a mango and gorilla, for example, and combines them into one weird animal: a MANGORILLA. So each page features a poem about a scranimal and where it lives, what it eats, etc. They were pretty silly! I think the students' favorites were the BANANACONDA and the POTATOAD...judging by the laughter on those pages!
Let's make our own scranimal island in the library! If you want to add a scranimal to my map, all you need to do is create your own scranimal and draw a picture of it with a label of its name underneath. Bring it in to the library and I'll add it to our Library Island!
I let Mrs. Carreon's class check out the book because they were so excited about scranimals and wanted to spend more time looking at them. But eventually I will have it rotate to the other classes.
I just thought of one myself! A FRUMPKIN! (A frog and a pumpkin!) Now I have to draw one! :)
