January Wild! Book Club

This was the very first meeting of our new book club for grades 2-6. We took the official vote to name the book club, and the winner was: Wild! Book Club. We're wild about books around here!

Sasha brought A Dog Named Christmas by Greg Kincaid. Sasha loves dogs and other wild animals, so this book was perfect for her.

Keean read The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman. He enjoyed the adventure after Jemmy and the prince ran away from the palace, and the fact that they learned to be friends.

Miss Jennie brought two books this month, a historical fiction and a fun adventure. The Robber and Me by Joseph Holub was originally written in German and was translated into English. It's a neat story about a boy who moves to a little German village, the friends he makes, and the robber who lives in the forest. Agent Boo by Alex de Campi and Edo Fuijkschot is a great book that's half comic book, half chapter book. The story moves in and out of the illustrations, bringing it to life!
