Book Activities
Make an Illustration POP
The illustrations in this book feature two colors on white paper - black and red. The red is used sparingly and really stands out. Create your own illustration using black and one other color!
Fairy Tale Villains
Writers find inspiration from other writers and stories, including fairy tales. This story includes some villains that may be familiar to you from reading or listening to fairy tales (the pied piper, goblins, a witch with an apple). Try to make up your own story that includes a villain from another story that you know. See if you can tell it in lines that rhyme (like Into the Goblin Market)!
