Storytime with Mrs. Hendrix: Thelma the Unicorn
Questions:
· Why do you think Thelma feels insecure about herself in the beginning of the story? Do you ever feel insecure? Why? How can you conquer your insecurities? Write a letter to Thelma describing ways in which she can feel better about herself.
· Do you think Thelma was deceitful to pretend to be a unicorn? Explain your answer. Can you understand why she acts as she does? How can our negative emotions sometimes lead us to act in negative ways?
· Why is Otis an important part of the story, even though he isn’t in the story for long? Why are the people who love us just as we are so important?
· What is the moral of a story? What kinds of stories have morals? Does Thelma the Unicorn have a moral? What would you say is the moral of this story?
· What does the story suggest about celebrity culture? Do you think Thelma resembles any celebrity in particular?
· Do you agree with Thelma’s fans that they can ‘chase you all we want … we’re fans, so it’s allowed’? Why/why not? Do you think we treat celebrities fairly because they are in the public eye?
· What is a unicorn? How do you imagine a unicorn looks? Does Thelma look like a unicorn to you? If not, how is she different? Is it important for imaginary creatures to always look a certain way? Why/why not?
· Is Thelma the Unicorn a humorous story? What makes it funny? How do the illustrations work together with the text to make the story humorous? How does the author use humor to convey the moral of the story?
Would you rather be Thelma the horse or Thelma the Unicorn?
