Yertle the Turtle ~ Dr. Seuss (Kindergarten Read Aloud)

Norman: What do you mean we aren't going to read How the Grinch Stole Christmas?


Hi boys and girls in Kindergarten! When I told Norman we were reading a Dr. Seuss story today, he assumed I meant we would be reading How The Grinch Stole Christmas (probably because we dressed up as The Grinch, and his dog Max, for Halloween last year.)  When I told him we were reading a story about a very naughty turtle named Yertle, he couldn't wait to hear it, because he loves stories about naughty animals. I hope he loves naughty animal stories because he thinks they are funny, not because he's looking for new ways to be naughty - he has enough of his own ideas on that subject already :)  Yertle the Turtle is one of my favourite Dr. Seuss books, and I hope you love it too!

After you watch the video of the story, you can click on the link to a fun printable Dr. Seuss matching sheet that includes Yertle, The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch, as well as some of our other favourite Dr. Seuss characters. You can match the characters with each letter, and then colour the pictures.

If you have your own Dr. Seuss books, choose one to read today! If you don't have any, find your favourite rhyming story and read that instead!
