I'm no preschooler, but this is hands-down my favorite flannelboard story. It is silly and romantic. Great for a Valentine's Day, wedding, animals, or love-themed story.
Here is the first stanza:
A moose came out of the woods one day
And into a pasture of cows
He spied a young cow named Jessica
and all he could say was, "WOW!"
You can download Briggs's patterns for this story here. The moose pictured is from a different pattern, for If You Give a Moose a Muffin from Storytime Magic by Kathy MacMillan.
If you don't like the text for Briggs's rhyme, I spotted a similar poem called "A Moosetake" in Bear Hugs by Karma Wilson. Unfortunately, the pages aren't numbered, but I'd say it's about half-way through the book.

Yay for Flannel Friday! Nothing like a moose in a top hat to set your weekend up right.
ReplyDeleteI really like your flannel backdrop -- our flannelboard is red...which is such a pain for some stories.
ReplyDeleteThis poem sounds adorable, and I love Jessica in her wedding dress!
Thanks! The flannel backdrop I used for these photos is from Etsy. It is this one:

I use it for outreach and storytimes at our other branch. We also have a big blue one from Discount School Supply that I use at my main branch. This one: http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?product=7570&keyword=easel&scategoryid=0&CategorySearch=&Brand=&Price=
Also, I've seen at teacher stores cardboard tri-folds with felt on them for about $5-10. Maybe that would be a good substitution. I agree that red would be a pain to work with!
Our old one was black but it stopped sticking.
