ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ???? Kids Read Aloud | THE PIGEON FINDS A HOT DOG by Mo Willems
Hi there! I’m Ryan, and I’m here with my friends Craig and Toby. Today, we’re going to read a fun story called “The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog” by Mo Willems. There’s also a special guest in the story, the Duckling. Let’s dive in!
Guess what? The Pigeon found a hot dog! Yum! Should he eat it? Well, no one said he can’t, so let’s let him enjoy it. Go ahead, Pigeon, have a tasty bite!
Oh, look! The Duckling is here and has never tasted a hot dog before. The Duckling asks, “What does a hot dog taste like?” The Pigeon says it’s a yummy treat, like a party in a bun!
The Duckling thinks it might be easier to understand if he could have a little taste. But the Pigeon found the hot dog, so he doesn’t have to share. It’s his hot dog, after all!
The Duckling keeps asking questions, and the Pigeon gets a bit annoyed. The Pigeon wants to eat his hot dog in peace. What should he do? Maybe he should share, or maybe he should keep it all to himself. What do you think?
The Pigeon has an idea! Maybe he can distract the Duckling and enjoy his hot dog. Or maybe they can both enjoy it together. Sharing can be fun!
At the end of the story, we learn something important. It’s nice to share with friends, even if it’s just a little bit. Sharing makes everyone happy!
Thanks for joining Story Time with Ryan, Craig, and Toby! We hope you enjoyed the story. Remember, sharing is caring. See you next time for more fun stories!
Hot Dog Sharing Game: Gather some toy food items or use play dough to create pretend hot dogs. Pair up with a friend and take turns being the Pigeon and the Duckling. Practice sharing the hot dog by dividing it into pieces. How does it feel to share? Talk about how sharing can make playtime more fun for everyone.
Draw and Tell: Draw a picture of a time when you shared something with a friend or family member. What did you share? How did it make you feel? Share your drawing with the class and tell your story. This will help you understand the joy of sharing and how it can make others happy too.
Sharing in Nature: Go on a nature walk and look for examples of sharing in the environment. Do you see birds sharing a tree branch or ants sharing food? Discuss with your teacher or classmates how animals share in nature and why it might be important for them to do so.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hey, I’m Ryan, and I’m here with Craig and Toby. Welcome to Story Time with Ryan! Today’s book is “The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog,” words and pictures by Mo Willems, with special guest star the Duckling. Let’s get started!
Oh, the Pigeon finds a hot dog!
Oh, he found a hot dog! Nice! Am I supposed to let him eat it or not?
He can eat it! No one told us not to let him eat it, so it’s fine. Enjoy that hot dog, Pigeon! Have a good one!
Hmm, may I help you?
Scooty scoot scoot! If it’s a hot dog, not a dog, my hot dog!
I have a question: I’ve never had a hot dog before. What do they taste like?
Well, they are a sensation! Each morsel is a joy, a celebration in a bun.
You really nailed the description of that hot dog! Enjoy that hot dog, Pigeon!
Yeah, you know, it might be easier to describe if he just gave the Duckling a little taste.
Yeah, but it’s his hot dog! He doesn’t have to share. Finders keepers!
If you’ve never experienced the splendor of a hot dog, you should really…
Wait a second! This hot dog is mine! I found it!
Of course! Enjoy! Go ahead! Would you say it tastes like chicken?
Can you believe this guy? Wow, what a pest!
Yeah, shoo!
I mean, he’s so smooth.
No, no, no! Pigeon, swallow it whole!
Okay, so it doesn’t taste like chicken.
Oh, for Pete’s sake!
Hey, I’m a curious fan!
Oh, you made him mad! Better get out of here, Duckling!
Yeah, skedaddle! Get lost! It’s my hot dog!
This is unbelievable! Finders keepers is what I say!
What am I supposed to do? I think I’ve got an idea.
Well, if he’s smart, he’s gonna leave.
Or, no! He’ll say, “Look over there!” Grab the hot dog, run away, jump over the bridge, under the railroad tracks, hide behind a rock, and then eat it real quick!
Oh yeah, definitely one of those two things is gonna happen! 100% guaranteed!
You know, you’re pretty smart for a Duckling!
Needs mustard! Where’d they find the other hot dog?
No, they kept the hot dog in half!
Oh, they found two half hot dogs!
Well, thanks for watching Story Time with Ryan, Craig, and Toby! We’ll see you next time!
You know, Craig, I think we learned a valuable lesson in this book.
Yeah, if you find something, run away and eat it real quick so no one else can get it!
No, no, no! It’s to share!
Pray to share whatever’s left after you eat!
Nope! Cut it into whatever you get!
