We explained that a parody is when you take an author or work and imitate very closely the language & style in a new work or book. Sometimes it can even take on a comic effect or can be exaggerated. We read both of the above books to the kids and had them tell us which one they liked best. We also discussed the similarities. Most of the kids liked the newer book best and they especially enjoyed the pictures.
Title: “Halloween”
Author: Jerry Seinfeld
Grade Level: 3-6
We use the CD and let it tell the story while we show the pictures. We have done this every year since the book came out and the kids love to hear it over and over. It is more fun for them to hear his actual voice…he is much more of a comedian than I!
