between the lions

[Music]

the world awaits

between the lions between the covers

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so you're saying that a pickle escaped

from this book

that's exactly what i'm saying bali he

jumped right out of the brine huh what's

brine it's that salty water that pickles

the pickles kid

yeah oh yeah

perhaps you'll once again turn your

attention to the title

stop

that pickle ah maybe we should start at

the beginning

give it a read

i'd be happy to sir uh let's see stop

that pickle by uh peter armor

illustrated by andrew saschat

okay

Stop That Pickle

it was lunchtime when ms elmira deeds

waddled into mr adolf's deli

i would like a pickle please she said

why certainly

said mr adolf wiping his hands

he unscrewed the lid on the giant pickle

jar and looked inside

there was only one fat pickle left

floating in the brine

mr adolf tried to spear the pickle with

a long fork

but each time he did the pickle swam to

the other side of the jar

this pickle did not want to be eaten

mr adolf was rather embarrassed by this

turn of events and he began to dig

around in a drawer for some tongs

as he was doing this the pickle climbed

out of the jar on his little green legs

darted across the counter and ran out

the door

said miss ohio

no one had ever seen a pickle move quite

so fast

stop that pickle

shouted mr adolf giving chase

down the street ran the pickle

[Music]

mr adolf quickly pooped out and had to

sit down on the curb

reclining on a nearby plate a peanut

butter and jelly sandwich heard the

alarm and left up

everyone knows that a peanut butter and

jelly sandwich is not the fastest

sandwich in the world

[Music]

but it does have great endurance that

can run for a long time without getting

tired

the sandwich chugged after the pickle

stop that pickle

it shouted

as the pickle and the peanut butter and

jelly sandwich passed a bake shop

a fat braided pretzel climbed down from

the counter and stumbled into the street

it ran a few steps behind the peanut

butter sandwich scattering sesame seeds

as it went

stop that pickle

cried the pretzel

enjoying the sun on a nearby tree a

lovely green pippin apple heard the

pretzels cry

and shook itself loose to join the chase

it rolled down every hill it could

a crowd of toasted almonds 17 of them

came skittering down the street

where they came from is anybody's guess

stop that pickle

they peep with their little almond

voices

a scurrying crowd of raisins and a cake

donut came right behind

the last to join the parade were a cool

bottle of grape juice and an elegant

vanilla ice cream cone sprinkled with

chocolate

they all had just one thing to say

[Music]

but the pickle was too fast for them all

he had a great time zigging and zagging

and thumbing his green pickle nose at

his pursuers

sometimes he would stop and read a

newspaper to give them a chance to catch

up

they were the slowest food he'd ever

seen

on and on went the chase

it seemed that it would never end when

[Music]

rounding a corner the pickle collided

with a young boy there's the pickle

stunned the pickle lay there the

collision had knocked the wind out of

him

quickly all of his pursuers gathered

around

here

they all cried to the boy

what should i do with him he asked

why eat him of course

they shouted

they were all a bit beside

a themselves pickle

now it just so happened that the boy had

been playing hard all morning long and

somehow had misplaced his lunchbox

he was terribly hungry

he looked at the pickle who immediately

began to cry big briny tears

the boy had a better idea

he ate the peanut butter and jelly

sandwich

the fat braided pretzel

the lovely green pippin apple

the 17 toasted almonds

the handful of raisins

the cake donut

and drank the bottle of grape juice

[Music]

finally he polished off the ice cream

cone

the only thing left was the pickle

the boy looked at the pickle and shook

his head

whoever heard of eating a pickle after

ice cream

stop that pickle

[Music]

the end

well well well

quite the slick pickle

yeah too slick but he won't get away

with it i'll catch him if you see that

pickle call me day or night

and last but not least our good book

let's get right to it

chicks and salsa by aaron reynolds

illustrated by paulette bogan

let's read

[Music]

Read Aloud

there were grumblings in the hen house

of nuthatcher farm

the chickens were tired of chicken feed

the rooster took it upon himself to

solve this problem

mrs nuthatcher the farmer's wife

had started watching cooking shows in

the afternoons

the rooster was perched on a fence post

outside the farmhouse window

when he discovered the solution to his

problem

salsa

[Music]

led by the rooster

the chickens crept into the garden

where they took tomatoes and

uprooted onions

[Music]

that night the chickens ate chips and

salsa

though nobody was quite certain where

the chickens got the chips

the tasty tang of tomatoes and onions

hung over the barnyard

and the rooster said

away

[Applause]

very soon there were mumblings at the

duck pond of nut hatcher farm

[Music]

inspired by the chickens

the ducks decided they were tired of

fish

with the rooster's encouragement

the ducks dipped into the garden

where they selected cilantro and

gathered garlic

that night the ducks ate guacamole

though nobody was quite certain where

the ducks got the avocados

the spicy scent of garlic and cilantro

hung over the barnyard

and the duck said

olay

[Music]

[Applause]

the next morning

there were rumblings in the pigpen of

nuthatcher farm

overwhelmed by the enticing aromas

the pigs decided they were tired of slop

while the rooster distracted farmer nut

hatcher

the pigs plodded into the garden

where they borrowed beans and chopped

chilis

that night the pigs ate nachos

though nobody was quite certain where

the pigs got the nacho cheese sauce

[Music]

the delightful deliciousness of cheese

and chilies hung over the barnyard

and the pig said

as everyone knows

when a passion for southwestern cuisine

takes hold of farm animals

and so many sumptuous spicy savory

scents collide in the barnyard air

it can only lead to one thing

fiesta

the rooster got things organized

then returned to his fence post to watch

for a good enchilada recipe

the horses decorated the barn

the bull practiced his mexican hat dance

though nobody was quite certain where

the bull got the sombrero

[Applause]

and the chickens ducks and pigs snuck

into the garden

but all of their spicy southwestern

supplies were gone

the scallions had been stolen

the peppers had been pilfered

the limes had been lifted

[Music]

but there were slurpings in the kitchen

of nuthatcher farm

[Music]

stirred by the succulent smells in the

barnyard mrs nuthatcher had decided to

make tamales for the county fair

a saucy sweetness hung over the

farmhouse kitchen

and mrs nuthatcher said

olay

[Music]

disappointed the animals canceled the

fiesta

that evening the chickens ate their

chicken feed

the ducks ate their fish and the pigs

ate their slop

[Music]

but while the nut hatchers were at the

fair

the rooster crept into the kitchen and

borrowed a french cookbook

the next morning the rooster ate crepes

with white grapes in champagne sauce

though nobody was quite certain where

the rooster learned how to read

a satisfied smile stretched over the

rooster's beak

and the rooster said

[Applause]

[Music]

the

[Music]

Avocados
