PIGEON WILL RIDE THE ROLLER COASTER BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS
Pigeon knows that riding a roller coaster won't be easy. He'll need to get a ticket. And wait in line. But he is sure he will be able to be patient!
Pigeon imagines the roller coaster ride. He thinks it will be so awesome. When the ride is done, Pigeon thinks he will feel a lot of things. Excited, because of the thrilling ride. Sad, because it's over, proud, because he did it. Dizzy, because it's a roller coaster.
Pigeon is ready. He heads to the roller coaster. As suspected, there is a loooooong line. He is patient. He gets to the front of the line. He has a ticket. He's ready to ride the roller coaster!
The roller coaster ride is not what Pigeon expected. It's slow and boring. But does he want to ride again? You bet!
