It’s always fun when you discover that someone you’ve never even met has seen your book and thought enough of it to create a special activity based on the book. That’s exactly what happened last spring when I discovered that on her blog, Easy Elegant Entertaining™, Addie Gundry, trained chef and cookbook author, used the concept of tails in GOODNIGHT, ARK to create an adorable book-themed treat. Click here for her wonderful edible activity. And thank you, Addie, for letting me share the adorable picture above.
Now to springboard off of her creativity, I’d like to add some suggestions for thoughtful questions you might ask as you are making these delightful tails inspired by GOODNIGHT, ARK!
GOODNIGHT, ARK Tail-Themed Questions
Do all of the creatures in GOODNIGHT, ARK have tails? Which do not?
Which is your favorite tail? Why?
How many tails can you count? (On any given page.)
Why do you think animals have tails?
If you had a tail, what would it look like? (Draw it , or make one using Addie’s ingredients!)
Happy reading, conversing about, creating, and then eating these adorable tails! And thank you, Addie, for creating this delightful (and tasty) extension activity!
P.S. Addie Gundry has also created adorable (and I mean ADORABLE) treats to go with GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. Press here for her adorable Bunny Tails.
These look like a Korean cookie called Pepero. In fact, Pepero Day is on 11/11, and tomorrow we’re celebrating at school.
This activity got me thinking about the few animals that *don’t* have tails, like us 🙂
You are a terrific tale-teller, tail or no tail 😉
They are adorable and look delicious. What a genius idea.
