The Shy Dinosaur Art 0 by Greg Pioli - Penguin Random House...The Shy Dinosaur HOST A STORYTIME! Art 0 by Greg Pioli Random House DRAW YOUR OWN MOST FUN HAT Art 0 by Greg Pioli Art
BEFORE STARTING THE STORYBegin the storytime by showing your
audience the back cover of Crunch, The Shy Dinosaur and read the
headline: “Flip the book over to say hello to Crunch! (You’ll
startle him if you say hello from back here.)” Ask the audience if
they spot Crunch anywhere in the shrubbery, then flip the book over
and say, “Oh, there he is! Hi, Crunch!”
Then read the interior front flap before beginning the
story.
AS YOU READHave fun with the interactive elements in the story
and encourage your audience to participate!
When Crunch dons his “most fun hat” on page 13, use the photo
booth prop to don yours, too! If you’re so inclined, you can do a
little happy dance along with Crunch.
END THE STORYTIMEAsk the listeners if they think they made a new
friend today. What’s their favorite thing about Crunch?
Discuss what it means to be shy. Although Crunch is a shy
dinosaur, he’s also a very friendly and fun dinosaur. Ask the
audience if they ever feel shy or know anyone who seems shy. What
did they learn from Crunch about being shy?
When you’re done, invite your storytime listeners to complete
the activities in this brochure!
