My bugs really enjoyed the story The Odd Egg, by Emily Gravett. When I finished reading it aloud to them, they would end up taking turns ‘reading’ it themselves, mainly because they thought the end of the story was hilarious.

I decided to make up a set of felt characters, based on the book, so my bugs could reenact the story again and again on their felt board.

Here’s a short video of M retelling the story (I was late starting my recording, so I only caught the ending).

As you can see, in M’s version of the story, there is no question as to what happens to the poor little birds at the end…
