"The Rooster Who Went to His Uncle's Wedding" is an adaptation of a Latin American folktale written by Alma Flor Ada. The illustrations, created by Kathleen Kuchera, were made by carving pieces of wood to create stamps. As the story goes, the rooster was walking to his uncle's wedding but got mud on his beak. As he walked he asked passing creatures to help him get the mud off of his beak.
I created flannel board pieces to accompany this cumulative story. I presented it to my class, and although I think it would be a little too wordy for the preschool class I'm placed in, I would love to pair this with a folktale unit in a kindergarten or first grade classroom.
