We read Mini’s Books a while ago, and it was fun! As a couple of book clubbers who read it with me have already signed up for the February 2025 edition, I decided to read another book from the series. The familiarity of characters always makes for a fun reading experience!
Children have more questions than adults can answer, and soon enough, adults get fed up of answering their endless questions. But what if questions can help solve a mystery? Would parents sit up and take notice?
Like the rest of the Mini series, Mini’s Questions is a simple, early reader chapter book that brings pictures and text together in an engaging way!
Questions
Often, when I ask children if they have any questions, they have none. But what about if I give them a picture and a few guiding questions? Let’s see what other questions they have! A curious mind leads to all kinds of creative exercises!
Mysteries
What questions do you think you need to ask to solve a mystery? Do you think people would answer them honestly?
As we read, I will give the children a simple mystery to solve, with a few basic clues. Let’s see if they can use their detective skills to solve the mystery!
Colour the story!
The Mini series and the Lucky series are fun because the pictures are meant to be coloured! We’ll spend just a little time colouring in class too. It’s always fun!
Join a programme!
While Mini’s Questions might be quite an easy read for avid eight-year-old readers, the joy of a book club lies in the activities we do together. Reading levels vary widely and a mix of books for various levels also gives children the space to be patient with one another and enjoy the process of reading in different ways!
