Hello!
In the summer some kids come into school for a few hours in the morning from a bunch of different schools (though lots of Plympton kids are here) and we do lots of fun things with books and math. It has been really fun to be back in the library. This week some of the kids took the Goldilocks story apart and re-wrote it in funny ways--we had The Scuba Diver and the Three Dolphins, The Soccer Player and the Three Football Players (the soccer player breaks the seats in the football stadium), and the Clown and the Three Dogs. It got me thinking about how much I love fractured fairy tales. They are usually nice and short and funny--perfect summer reading. Some of my favorites are Jim and The Beanstalk by Raymond Briggs, The Stinky Cheeseman by Jon Scieszka, and And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon by Janet Stevens. Do you have a favorite fractured fairy tale? What are you reading right now?

I am reading a book about Global Warming. It is very interesting. There are lots of good facts in it. I did not like Encyclopedia Brown - my Mom made me try to read that but it was boring.
ReplyDeleteI will admit that I don't love Encyclopedia Brown--I don't usually love mysteries. How is the Global Warming book? That could cause some worries--but I hope it has some ideas for keeping the planet safe Cameron!
