Later he finds a flier about the King Puck Festival and decides to enter his goat in the contest. You will have to read the book to find out who wins and what the winner selects. I will give you a clue. The winner picks something that will help him read, explore, and learn.
What did we do to explore King Puck?
The goats line up to be judged in the King Puck contest. We lined up goats in number order. I am not sure that there were eighteen goats in the contest. We decided we need to have eighteen goats lines up on our kitchen table.
If JDaniel were older or had a better grasp on numbers, here are some other ways we could have explored number concepts with the goats.
- Sorted by even and odd numbers.
- Used the goats to make number sentences.
- Place the correct numbers before and after the number placed on the table
- Created word problems based on the goats
If you like this King Puck activity, here are some more book inspired learning activities:

Love the sock puppet!
Thanks for hosting. I love books with activity ideas for kids’ book clubs.
Hi, I love Irish tale. Irish is a Beautiful language to me. If it was my choice I would learn Irish any day. On my Mother’s side she both Irish and Scottish, Irish being the Lockrins, and the Scottish McNabbs. My father is Pure English from England. The Lockrins came to America on the Mayflower and my father’s side went to America around the time when the 13 Colonies were established. If I had a choice I would go and live in Ireland in a flash no second thoughts.
Thank you for hosting. I love your goat sock puppets. I’m definitely going to have to try this. Thanks for sharing.
