My Lucky Day

Get ready for a delicious, laugh-out-loud twist on a classic predator-and-prey tale with the clever and hilarious "My Lucky Day" by Keiko Kasza!

When a plump little piglet accidentally knocks on a hungry fox's door, the fox can’t believe his luck. It’s a "dinner-delivered-to-the-door" kind of day! But as the fox prepares his feast, the piglet has a few suggestions to make the meal even better. From a warm bath to a massage and a heavy dinner, the piglet stays one step ahead in this brilliant battle of wits. Who is actually having the lucky day? You’ll have to watch until the very last page to find out!

In this video, children will learn about:

• ? Critical Thinking & Strategy: Analyzing how the piglet uses his wits to outsmart a much larger opponent.
• ? Character Perspective: Exploring the different points of view between the fox and the piglet throughout the story.
• ? Humor & Irony: Recognizing the "twist ending" and understanding the irony of the title.

This read-aloud is a year-round favorite but is especially fun for March! It’s the perfect spark for a lesson on problem-solving, a discussion about not judging a book by its cover, or just a giggle-filled storytime that will have kids cheering for the "under-pig."
