I think stories like this are better told as a felt board story, rather than just being read straight from the book.
Although The Three Little Pigs was a fun story to tell, it was a bit clumbsy moving the pigs from one house to another. Much of the magic of flannel boards gets lost that way.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is the most popular with my kids so far. It was the first time all 15+ 4 year olds sat still and quiet and didn’t move at all as I told the story. That was amazing.
Have you seen this one? http://www.funfelt.com/grandmasfavorites.html It even comes with a CD telling the story.
When I tell them I just make eye contact or use tone of voice as much as I can while moving the pieces so you keep the kids eyes on you during the transitions.
