Little Shambu is such fun! I read In the Bear’s Den and Other Adventures of Little Shambu some time ago, and at my book club, we read the first book in the Little Shambu series earlier this year. Short stories are fun! I’m looking forward to reading more of this young animal lover’s adventures with my book club!
Dialogue
Role play for dialogue reading is something that I repeat frequently at my book club. Paying attention to paragraph structure and punctuation, and understanding how we know who says what is an important step towards creating stories as the children grow older!
Drawing an Animal
When we read Ostrich Girl, we discovered that drawing an ostrich isn’t actually very difficult. What about a bear? We’ll draw a bear together and perhaps a couple of other animals too!
Unscramble
I know that unscrambling words may not be very easy for my book clubbers, but I’m happy to give it a shot. The theme of animals will stay the same—let’s see how many animal names we can unscramble!
Join a book club!
Book series are a great way to get children excited about reading more! I’ve lost count of the number of parents who’ve told me their child has asked for the rest of the series after being introduced to one book at my book club. It’s happened with the A to Z Mysteries, Ottoline and so many more!
