- Reading
- Enjoy the illustrations together and pause as each person joins the procession. Invite your reader to predict what might happen next, then compare their guess with how the tale resolves the spell.
- Themes
- Good deed and reward: Rupert receives a golden goose after doing a good deed for a stranger. Rupert’s good deed is followed by a reward, while the attempted theft sets a comic chain of events in motion.
- Worth knowing
- The attempted theft leads to people becoming stuck together, and the story asks whether they will remain trapped in the procession. This is a comic predicament, but the suspense may merit a brief preview.
