Where is the Party?

Where Is the Party? is a humorous and fictional animal fantasy story about Duck and Rooster trying to find the party. They thought it was in a cave until they heard “grrr!” Duck flew up into the tree where the party was, but Rooster decided to go home when she saw the snake! The story is narrated with illustrative text, split frames, and onomatopoeia.

Where Is the Party? is a simple narrative story. Critical thinking questions are provided to guide the reader. Illustrations match the text. A visual information guide is provided for teachers to draw students’ attention to the changes in font style like bold and illustrative text as well as the information, layout, and design of a story map. There is a story map at the end of the book to demonstrate the order of events. An activity on drawing and writing about what might have been in the cave is provided for teachers to extend students’ learning.

Opportunities arise to discuss capital letters for the beginning of names (Duck), full stops, commas, question marks, quotation marks, and exclamation marks. Focus on digraph wh (where), word family ill (will), and suffix ing (going).
