Babar and the Christmas House

1. After reading the story, rewrite the ending. Use your imagination.
The next day everybody gathered around the house. Every one wore new clothes and dresses. They all had the biggest party ever! Everyone got what they wanted.

2. What will you remember most about the story?
I will remember the special house.

Mrs. W's response:
Good job! I used to read Babar when I was in first grade! I wonder who is older-- Babar or Mrs. W?
