It’s not that I’m not happy to see yet another old favourite with a new anniversary dress but 40 years!! EEEEK! It’s kind of hard to believe and yet, obviously it is not because apart from anything else, I bought this one for The Kid’s mum when she was a Small (and she would have been 44 this year).
I honestly wish I had $1 for every time I’ve read this in classrooms and in library. In fact, I read it with a Year 2 class only a matter of a month or so ago. And I still have my Wombat Stew Cookbook which I used regularly with my Year 1/2 class especially at lovely Beerburrum SS 22 years ago. Cooking ‘Wombat paws’ with the parent helpers was a big thrill for those little people 🐾.
I really don’t need to bang on about this one because we all know it and love it, but I must say it really is quite stunning in its new outfit and the gold-foiled title on a hardback edition is the pièce de résistance.
You won’t have to look too far to find loads of support for teaching this one among the paid platforms e.g., Twinkl, Teach This, Beyond the Book, and TPT, but I did also find a couple of other bits of interest. Here’s a free teaching unit from My Home School and do a search for these cute mini-puppets and story stones for something different.
Thank you creators, Marcia and Pamela for all our many years of pleasure – along with the kiddos of course! Goes without saying it’s a 5 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
