Look! The book-hungry bears are on a fun adventure to find books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there?
Wow, look at this pinecone! It’s so brown and spiky. I’m going to keep it! Look, more pinecones! This one is green, and this one is yellow. They’re so pretty! I’m going to keep them too.
Thanks for helping me with my pinecone collection, Scout! Let’s go find a book now!
Oops, another pinecone! It’s really big! Thanks for adding it to my collection, Boomer!
Look at all these pinecones! This one is tiny and cute. I love it! I’m going to name it Little Piny. Have fun with your friends, Little Piny!
Do we need all these pinecones, Crystal? Yes, they’re all different! But my arms are full. Can you help me hold them? Uh-oh, the pinecones are rolling away!
Who can help you, Crystal? I’ll take Little Piny. Let’s keep looking for a book!
Oh no, the book didn’t see us! Follow that book!
Careful, come on! Uh-oh! It’s okay, we’ll pick them up later.
Hello, book! Would you like to share your story?
That Badger has a shirt on his head. “I’m bored,” said Tick. “Me too,” said Tac. “Why don’t you read a book?” said Ma Badger.
“We read all our books,” said Tick. “Then we read them backwards,” said Tac. “Wow! How about building a fort?” asked Ma Badger.
“We already made one,” said Tick. “Then we invaded it and it fell apart,” said Tac.
“Would you like to help me hang the laundry?” asked Ma Badger. “Laundry?” Tick asked. “We haven’t done that yet,” said Tac.
“Okay,” they chimed together. “Let me show you how,” said Ma Badger.
“Take the wet clothes and clip them on the line like this,” said Tick.
“Very good,” said Ma Badger. “Will you finish hanging the laundry for me?”
“Sure, Ma!” chirped Tick and Tac. They were good helpers, just like us when we picked up your pinecones, right, Crystal?
Yeah! Tick and Tac quickly hung every shirt, sock, and sweater.
“That was fun, but we’re out of laundry,” said Tick.
“I have an idea,” said Tac. They grabbed things from the house and started to hang them up.
“This is great!” shouted Tick.
“Wait, that’s not laundry!”
They hung everything they could find. Look, toilet paper on the clothesline! Just like you collecting pinecones, Crystal.
“We’re really good at this,” said Tick proudly.
“I’m impressed,” said Tac.
But then Ma came home. “What have you done?” she hollered.
“We hung up the laundry,” said Tick. “And a few other things,” said Tac.
“You forgot a couple of things,” said Ma Badger. They forgot themselves! Ma Badger hung them on the laundry line. That’s so funny!
That was such a silly story! Thank you, book!
Maybe I don’t need all these pinecones. I’ll keep Little Piny, but what about the rest?
I have an idea! Little Piny loves it!
Hey everyone, look at this amazing rock I found!
Cool! Are you going to keep it, Crystal?
Maybe. Uh-oh, not another collection! Just this one, I promise!
Books, books! Looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there?
Still no books! We’ve been looking forever!
“Melody, what are you doing?”
“I’m a mummy cat, and you’re all my kittens!”
“Melody, how will that help us find a book?”
“Cats can find mice! If I’m a mummy cat and you are my baby kittens, we’ll find books hidden like mice do.”
“Oh, okay! Meow, meow!”
“Huh, you’re not a book; you’re a squirrel!”
Boomer found a squirrel because he’s a baby kitten, and baby kittens find things!
“Meow! Baby kitten, would you please climb up that tree and look for a book?”
“Yes, Mommy Cat!”
“That’s way too high for little B Kitty like me!”
“What if I’m a baby dinosaur instead?”
“Roar!”
“Mummy cats have kittens, not baby dinosaurs!”
“Maybe this mummy cat could have one baby dinosaur.”
“Roar! But if you’re a baby dinosaur, how will you find books?”
“I can roar so loud that the books can hear me!”
“We would love a dinosaur brother, please!”
“Oh, all right! Maybe this mummy cat can have two kittens and one baby dinosaur.”
“Look over there! I think Kitten and Crystal should crawl through the log to see if there are any books inside.”
“Me, me! I don’t like crawling through logs!”
“I know! I’ll be a baby rabbit instead! Hop, hop, hop!”
“Mummy cats don’t have baby rabbits! And even if you were a baby rabbit, how can a baby rabbit help find books?”
“Baby rabbits have great big ears, so I’ll be able to hear a book flapping!”
“I hear a tap, tap, tap with my big ears! Maybe it’s a book!”
“Hey, Crystal’s right! I hear it now!”
“It’s not a book, but it’s a woodpecker!”
Okay, I guess I’m a mummy cat with a kitten, a baby dinosaur, and a baby rabbit.
Oh, meow, meow! Kitten Boomer, go look under those bushes for a book, please!
“Um, Mommy Cat, I’m too big to go under that bush! I think I’d like to be a baby bird instead!”
“Yeah, I want to be a baby owl!”
“Why, you baby owl?”
“Baby owls have very good eyes that can see so far, so I’ll be able to see a book!”
“Roll, hop, hop!”
“Fine! Now I’m a mummy cat with a baby dinosaur, a baby rabbit, a baby owl, and no baby kittens!”
“Oh wait! If you’re a baby owl, Boomer, you can fly up to the sky to look for a book!”
“Look, fly!”
“Whooo!”
“Oh yeah, I guess baby owls can fly!”
“I’m a baby owl! Woohoo! It worked! I can see a book!”
“I don’t think the book hurt us! Stand back!”
“It worked! That book!”
“Huh, I can’t see it anymore, but I can hear it! Hop, hop, hop, hop!”
Yay! I saw it! I called it, and I heard it!
Yes! Story time! Is everyone close and comfy?
I see a crocodile, a parrot, and a stork. I wonder if they’re friends.
Stork, parrot, and crocodile sat in their nests, each waiting for their egg to hatch.
“My baby will have sharp, pointy teeth,” said crocodile.
“That’s a lot of teeth, just like a baby dinosaur!”
“My baby will have a magnificent beak,” said parrot.
“My baby will have long, long legs,” said stork.
“I bet they can’t wait for their eggs to hatch!”
“Yes, ’cause then they’ll be mummies, just like me!”
One day, a strong wind shook the nests. Stork’s egg rolled out of Stork’s nest, and parrot’s egg rolled out of parrot’s nest.
“Oh no! Those eggs are rolling away!”
I can’t look! Their eggs came to rest next to crocodile’s egg. Three eggs side by side!
“See, Scout? The eggs are safe! Good, close and comfy!”
“Which egg is which?” wondered parrot.
“Whose egg is whose?” asked stork.
“We’ll find out when they hatch,” said crocodile.
“Until then, we just have to wait.”
Stork, parrot, and crocodile sat on their eggs and waited.
They waited for their eggs to hatch.
“I can’t wait to find out who’s in which egg!”
Then, after many long days of waiting, one of the eggs started to crack open.
“Oh look! I think this one is the baby crocodile!”
Out popped a baby crocodile!
“He does have sharp, pointy teeth,” said parrot.
Oh, the second egg cracked open!
Popped a baby stork!
“She does have long, long legs,” said crocodile.
Long, long, long, long legs!
The third egg cracked open!
Out popped a baby parrot!
“He does have a magnificent beak,” said stork.
“I think the baby parrot is cute!”
Stork, parrot, and crocodile took their three children down to the waterhole for a drink.
One very big and very happy family!
They’re all so different, but they’re still a family, just like us!
It didn’t matter that the eggs got mixed up; the mothers loved all the babies.
That was such a great story!
Thank you, book! Bye-bye!
Thanks! I’m like the mummies in the book because I love all my babies!
Meow! My baby dinosaur!
Roar! My baby owl!
Hoo-hoo! And my baby bunny!
Hop, hop!
We love you too, Mommy Cat!
Come on, babies! Let’s look for more books!
Pinecone Sorting Adventure: Gather a collection of pinecones of different sizes, shapes, and colors. Encourage the children to sort them into groups based on these characteristics. Ask questions like, “Which pinecone is the biggest?” or “Can you find a pinecone that is a different color?” This activity helps children practice observation and categorization skills.
Story Time Role Play: After reading the story about the mummy cat and her animal babies, invite the children to act out the story. Provide simple props like paper ears or tails to represent different animals. Encourage them to think about how each animal might help find a book. Ask, “What sound does a baby owl make?” or “How would a baby rabbit hop?” This activity promotes creativity and understanding of the story through role play.
Egg Matching Game: Create paper eggs with different patterns or colors. Hide them around the classroom or playground. As the children find the eggs, ask them to match them with pictures of the animals from the story (crocodile, parrot, stork). Discuss how each animal’s baby might look different. Ask, “Which egg do you think belongs to the parrot?” This activity encourages exploration and reinforces the concept of diversity in nature.

Here come the bears! The book-hungry bears are looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there?
This is the most interesting pinecone I’ve ever seen! It’s so brown and spiky. Wow, I’m going to keep it! Look, Crystal, more pinecones! This one is really green, and this one is more yellow. Ooh, they’re so beautiful! I’m going to keep them both.
Here you go, Crystal. You don’t want to lose a pinecone from your collection. Thanks, Scout! Hey, I do have a collection, and a nice one too. Come on, let’s find a book!
I’m going to look for books over here. Whoops! Hey, another pinecone! Whoa, it’s really big! That’s an awesome pinecone, Boomer. Here, add it to your collection. Thank you!
Wow, look at all these pinecones! This one is so tiny and cute. Oh, Scout, I love it! And this one smells so good. I’m going to name you Little Piny. There you go, Little Piny! Have fun with your friends.
Can you grab that one there, please? And that one too? Sure, here you go. This is for you.
Do we need all of these pinecones, Crystal? Yes, they’re all different. Whoa, my arms are full! Can you hold them for me? Sure, if you say so. Uh-oh, the pinecones are rolling away!
Who can help you, Crystal? I’ll take Little Piny. Okay, let’s keep looking for a book!
Oh no, it didn’t see us! Follow that book!
Careful, come on! Uh-oh! Oh no, that’s okay, we’ll pick them up later.
Hello, book! Would you like to share your story?
Yes! Story time! Is everyone close and comfy?
Let the story begin: “Laundry Day” by Jessica Bagley.
That Badger has a shirt on his head. “I’m bored,” said Tick. “Me too,” said Tac. “Why don’t you two read a book? You love to read,” said Ma Badger.
“We read all our books,” said Tick. “Then we read them backwards,” said Tac. “They can read backwards!”
“Wow! Well, how about building a fort?” asked Ma Badger. “We already made one,” said Tick. “Then we invaded it and it fell apart,” said Tac.
“Would you like to help me hang the laundry?” asked Ma Badger. “Laundry?” Tick asked, looking surprised. “We haven’t done that yet,” said Tac.
“Okay,” they chimed together, but they don’t know how to hang the laundry if they’ve never done it before. “I’ll bet Ma Badger knows! Let me show you how.”
“You’re right, Crystal! Take the wet clothes and sheets out of the basket, then take the clothespins and clip them on the line like this,” asked Tick.
“Very good,” said Ma Badger. “Will you boys finish hanging the laundry for me while I go to the market?”
“Sure, Ma!” chirped Tick and Tac. Those brothers are good helpers, just like us when we picked up your pinecones, right, Crystal?
Yeah! Tick and Tac quickly went to work hanging every shirt, sock, sheet, and sweater that was in the basket.
“That was fun, but we’re out of laundry already,” said Tick.
“I have an idea,” said Tac. “What are you going to do?”
“Something fun, that’s for sure!” Tick and Tac ran inside and each grabbed an apple barrel full of odds and ends from the house and started to hang them up.
“This is great!” shouted Tick.
“It sure is! What else is there?” asked Tac.
“Wait a minute, that’s not laundry!”
They hung everything they could find that wasn’t nailed down. Look, look, look! The young toilet paper on the clothesline! Those brothers just can’t stop, like you when you were collecting pinecones, Crystal.
You’re right! I was like those brothers; I couldn’t stop!
“We’re really good at this,” said Tick proudly.
“I’m pretty impressed myself,” said Tac.
But just then, Ma came home from the market.
“I wonder what Ma’s going to say?”
“What have you done?” she hollered.
“Um, we hung up the laundry,” said Tick.
“Uh, and a few other things,” said Tac.
“Well, I’m not sure how you did it,” said Ma Badger, “but you forgot a couple of things.”
What did they forget?
“I’m bored,” said Tick.
“Me too,” said Tac.
“I wonder if Ma needs help with dinner.”
They forgot themselves! Ma Badger hung them on the laundry line. That’s so funny!
That was such a silly story! Thank you, book!
Maybe I don’t need all these pinecones. I’ll keep Little Piny for you, but what will we do with the rest of the pinecones?
I have an idea! That’s amazing! Little Piny loves it!
Come on out! Let’s see what it looks like from up there.
What’s this? Ooh, pretty!
Hey everyone, look at this amazing rock I found!
Cool! Are you going to keep it, Crystal?
Maybe. Uh-oh, not another Crystal collection! Just this one, I promise!
Books, books! Looking for books, looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there?
Still no books! We’ve been looking forever!
“Huh, Melody, what are you doing?”
“I’m a mummy cat, and you’re all my kittens!”
“Melody, how will that help us find a book?”
“Well, cats can find mice! Meow! So if I’m a mummy cat and you are my baby kittens, we’ll find books hidden like mice do.”
“Oh, okay! Meow, meow!”
“Huh, you’re not a book; you’re a squirrel!”
Boomer found a squirrel because he’s a baby kitten, and baby kittens find things!
“Meow! Baby kitten, would you please climb up that tree and look for a book?”
“Yes, Mommy Cat!”
“I will wait. That’s way too high for little B Kitty like me!”
“But kittens are great climbers! What if I’m a baby dinosaur instead?”
“Roar!”
“Mummy cats have kittens, not baby dinosaurs!”
“Maybe this mummy cat could have one baby dinosaur.”
“Roar! But if you’re a baby dinosaur, how will you find books?”
“I can roar so loud that the books can hear me!”

“Look, fly!”
“Whooo!”
“Oh yeah, I guess baby owls can fly!”
“I’m a baby owl! Woohoo! It worked! I can see a book!”
“I don’t think the book hurt us! Stand back!”
“It worked! That book!”
“Huh, I can’t see it anymore, but I can hear it! Hop, hop, hop, hop!”
Yay! I saw it! I called it, and I heard it!
Yes! Story time! Is everyone close and comfy?
Let the story begin: “Which Egg” by Roxane Gajat, illustrated by Rob Foot.
I see a crocodile, a parrot, and a stork. I wonder if they’re friends.
Stork, parrot, and crocodile sat in their nests, each waiting for their egg to hatch.
“My baby will have sharp, pointy teeth,” said crocodile.
“That’s a lot of teeth, just like a baby dinosaur!”
“My baby will have a magnificent beak,” said parrot.
“My baby will have long, long legs,” said stork.
“I bet they can’t wait for their eggs to hatch!”
“Yes, ’cause then they’ll be mummies, just like me!”

Long, long, long, long legs!
