Mo, Mo, Mo!

Pigeon puppet made using a popsicle stick & cardstock

Mo Willems is one of my favourite authors! His books have been a hit with all of the grade 3 and 4 students that I have been tutoring since September. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus seems to be the most popular. Other favourite titles include Knuffel Bunny and The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog.

Mo Willems' books are great for practicing reading fluency. We had a lot of fun changing our tone and thinking about how punctuation affects meaning.

The artwork and writing is very accessible, so we used it as a mentor text to create our own picturebooks. We've put them on the shelves alongside the other books. It's so empowering to be an author!
