The book of the month for September for those of us in our local library's Mother and Daughter Reading Group. Great choice for us, since it paralleled the initial pet-or-no-pet conversation in our own home. We ended up with Lyla the cat....however, a puppy was my daughter's first choice. This book was an easy and enjoyable read. It was followed by a character study, a discussion of descriptive language, and making text-to-self connections. These are skills that are practiced for second grade. The library book group helps to supplement our homeschooling curriculum.
At the library, we met with the 5 other child members, their family members and our Children's librarian. Our discussion included story elements, characters, and feelings of the readers. We also enjoyed a snack and each member made their own "Preston" sock puppet.
