Jumble Sale is such a delightful Silly Billy Book that I can’t wait to read it with my book club! Just like Agassi and the Great Cycle Race, which we read recently, it is a hilarious read that promises to cause much laughter as we read it together!
Jumble Sale
If your school organised a jumble sale, what would you sneak into it? What do you think you could sell with no one noticing? And how audacious do you think you could get?
Songs
I can’t think of Jumble Sale without thinking of Tinaz Toddywalla singing, “Just you wait, ‘Enry ‘Iggins, just you wait!” I don’t know how many children at my book club will be familiar with the song, so we’ll listen to it and perhaps make it a listening exercise too!
Mysteries
Is a missing bottlebrush an intriguing enough mystery to solve? Each edition of Read, Write, Explore comprises three creative writing classes, and during one of them, we will explore a silly mystery! What tiny theft could be a mystery worth solving, and how would we go about it?
