I love this series of books by Edward Gibbs! I incorporate animal puppets into this by using a piece of cardboard with a whole in it. After I read one of these books, I put the piece of cardboard between me and the storytime cart and show the kids different parts of an animal puppet and ask them to guess what they think it is as I describe the texture and colors.
Usually, as the final animal I sometimes choose a dinosaur or a dragon, sometimes I use the plush letters of the alphabet to give the kids a funny surprise.
