Today we read two very silly and a little bit twisted re-tellings of:

Henny-Penny retold and illustrated by Jane Wattenberg

and

The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon by Mini Grey

To give younger students a bit of context for The Adventures of the Dish and The Spoon, you can always start by sharing the nursery rhyme…

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