 This exciting book is called Fun in the Mud. The author is Anna Prokofs. And the one who drew the pictures is the illustrator, Dave Clegg. I will read through the story and we have different activities for you. All of you children and teachers will work together on activities related to the story. We have a list ready to go. Three big words you need to know. Snout. This means that an animal has their nose and mouth attached. Squeal. This means a loud, high-pitched sound from your throat. Strutting. This means a walk that is done with confidence. Here we have the farm. Over here we have the barn. The pig is laying down. And over there we see the goat standing. On the fence, you can see the rooster. The sun is rising on the farm. Time for rooster to sound the alarm. Get ready for a big surprise. Pig squeal. I'm going in the mud today. Pig races to the squishy mud. He splashes in with a great big thud. Yahoo! Pig says the mud's all... Then goat trots over to join the swine. Goat says with glee, I found someone to play with me. Pig looks at goat and shakes his snout. The mud's all mine. Pig says, stay out goat says sadly. That's not fair. He knows that friends should always share. Let's take turns goat says. It's fun. There's lots of mud for everyone. Just then rooster comes strutting through. He wants to play in the mud too. Go away. Pig says the mud's all mine. You're being a hog. Rooster tells the swine. Goat says the mud will fit us three. We'll all have fun. Don't you agree? Pig thinks. He shouts. Mud party can begin. Splashing and laughing. The three farm friends play in the mud. Until the day ends. I have a big question for you. Did the pig have a lot of fun playing around in the mud when he shared with the goat and rooster? Tell me why.
