Read Aloud Title: My Lucky Day By Keiko KaszaOpening Move / Book Introduction:Today I am going to read a fiction story called My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza. In this story when a delicious-looking piglet knocks on Mr. Fox's door by mistake, the fox is sure it must be his lucky day. It's not every day that dinner just shows up on your doorstep! But as the piglet is quick to point out, shouldn't the fox give him a bath first? And wouldn't it be best to fatten him up a little, and give him a massage so he'll make for a nice tender roast? Mr. Fox sure has his work cut out for him—and his "dinner" is a lot smarter than it looks.
