Turn to the first page in Clancy & Millie and the Very Fine House where the clouds are shaped like 3 pigs and highlight the reason the illustrator chose the image of the 3 pigs in the sky. Explain that the illustration gives the audience a connection to the narrative The Three Little Pigs.
Activity: re-create Clancy & Millie and the Very Fine House so that the characters play outGoldilocks and the Three Bears instead of The Three Little Pigs.
Co-construct a simple rebus for the beginning of Clancy & Millie and the Very Fine House up until when Clancy meets Millie. For example:
Clancy moved to a new house.
He did not like the new house.
It was too big. It was too cold. It was too lonely.
Briefly re-cap the characters and objects in Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Draw, Talk, Write, Share
Revisit the first double page of the text showing the pigs illustrated in the clouds. Ask students what characters or objects might be illustrated in the clouds if Clancy & Millie and the Very Fine House was connected to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Provide students with art paper and materials to re-create the illustrated page in Clancy & Millie and the Very Fine House as if it was connected to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
