Flannel Friday-Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too?

I have been trying to get ready for our Mother's Day story time in May and found this oldie, but goodie.  Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too? by Eric Carle works for all ages.  If you have a group that doesn't sit well for long stories, the rhymes make it easy to paperclip pages together so you feel like you accomplish something.  At the end of each page, Carle asks "Does a giraffe have a mother too?" (underlined animal changes each page).  The kids love thinking about and answering this question.

The flannelboard pieces are all made out of fun foam.  I added googly eyes and drew in details with permanent markers (my favorite is the giraffe).
