The children truly enjoyed our read-aloud today, Mo Willems' hilarious new rhyming picture book, Nanette's Baguette. The book follows Nanette on her first solo trip to the bakery. But . . . will Nanette get the baguette from baker Juliette? Or will Nanette soon be beset with regret?The setting of the book is a French village. After listening to the book, the children got to experience the smell of a warm baguette, the sound of the "crack" when a baguette is broken into pieces, and the taste that Nanette couldn't resist (with a little jam). We also watched the short video below that shows Mo Willems making the handcrafted-paper-modeled village he used in the illustrations.
