A fifth grader handed me the best note yesterday. This is in response to talking about experience of listening to The Underneath by Kathi Appelt.
“Dear Mrs. Mac,
I was wondering if you would hold the NEW Book, that you love so much. I think the way yourecommended the book made me want to red it. Also I think that the way you said that the person who reads the book to you, read it so smooth. I hope that you would hold the book for me. Thank you.
Mikayla, 5th
I, of course, cannot wait for the book order to come in and will have to buy it before spring break is over.
Am enjoying listening to The Graveyard Book and really, thank goodness, it is not as intense as The Underneath. I find myself thinking about Harry Potter. Wonder if he and Bod could have been friends.
Bringing The Summer Guest on spring break. It’s our book club choice. Last night, I picked up Three Cups of Tea and started to get into that book. Have you seen both the picture book and the middle grade book about the Pakistani schools project?
Reminder if you would like a Poem Postcard. Let me know.
Happy Reading.
