Today, we learn the story, How Big Is a Foot?, by Rolf Myller. It is about a king who thinks of a lovely present to give his wife, the queen. But, there's a problem with the present. Together, we will work to figure out what the problem is and predict what will happen with the king and his gift to the queen. Finally, we will find out what the characters actually did to solve the problem.
