Once upon a time, there was a New Year's party where all the animals gathered to celebrate. They wore masks and party hats, drank champagne, and threw confetti everywhere. The timer counted down to midnight, and everyone was so excited! But when the timer hit zero, something strange happened... all the party hats became stuck on the animals' heads and they couldn't take them off! They tried everything, but the hats wouldn't budge. So, they decided to make the best of it and have a parade with their funny hats on. And that's how the first New Year's Hat Parade was born! The end.

Reflections

1. What do the animals do to celebrate New Year's?
2. How did the party hats become stuck on their heads?
3. What did the animals do when they couldn't remove the party hats?
4. What was the outcome of the situation with the party hats?
5. Can you think of another animal that could have joined the parade?
