Pourquoi Tales

Pourquoi means "why" in French.

What is a Pourquoi Tale? 

As a Pourquoi story unfolds it tells how a particular animal, person, or thing came to be the way it is today. 

A Pourquoi Tale answers the question why in a "made up way" rather than a "scientific way."

Some Examples:

-Why the zebra got its stripes-- How the leopard got its spots-- Why the sun and the moon live in the sky--

We each came up with a focus animal to research and write about. We painted our covers with watercolors and learned how to sew simple stitches to make our covers a special piece of art. I was so impressed with our patience and sewing abilities. Our covers came out beautiful and our stories are wonderful too!
