YERTLE ESCAPES AGAIN

Mossy by Jan Brett

MINGSI: What is Yertle doing now? 🐢

MISO: He wants to have flowers on his shell like Mossy.

MINGSI: I wish he would get back in his pond and stay there.

Hi boys and girls. I hope you are doing OK. Today we are going to read a Jan Brett story. You probably remember her Gingerbread stories from Christmas. She does her own illustrations and they are beautiful. We are going to ready "Mossy." It is the story of a turtle who has beautiful flowers growing on her shell.  She is so beautiful some people want to put her in a museum. I hope you enjoy this nice story and love the happy ending.
