Silly Tilly
by Eileen Spinelli , David Slonim (Illustrator)
Cavendish, Marshall, 2009
Summary: Tilly is a silly goose, the silliest animal on the farm. After the animals become too annoyed, Tilly starts to act seriously. But then the animals realize how much they miss the silliness.
Lesson: Sometimes you just have to be a little silly, especially in kindergarten. It had rained for an entire week, and the students were very restless with no outside play. I read this book and then we did silly physical antics like funny faces and jumping around. It was a fun play day at the library. Before sending them back to class, though, we talked about appropriate times for silliness, like Tilly had to learn.
Level: PreK - 2nd
