Cindy Moo – Jumps over the Moon

Image

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!

This book Cindy Moo is written by Loris Mortensen and Illustrated by Jeff Mack

Cindy is jumping over the moon – with the help of the rain which, created a little puddle and the reflection of the moon….she did it!

Each child had to retell the story, with that came creative dialogues about Cindy’s challenge and eventual adventure.  One child said, “Cindy can fly like an owl!”  Who knows what image a child conjures with the sight of a moon, pond and animals around:)

After our story and comprehension we practiced jumping over the moon – with the help of a baby Boppy.
