We read Ottoline and the Yellow Cat at my book club last year, and it was such fun. I enjoy silliness of this kind so much that the book was on my list of favourite chapter books from 2023.
And Ottoline Goes to School, which I read in 2022, was one of my favourites from that year. I’m waiting to read it with my book club!
Picture Postcards
We’ve made picture postcards at my book club before and it is so much fun! I remember doing it when we read The Absolutely True Adventures of Daydreamer Dev. I sent my book clubbers postcards after that too, which was part of the fun.
Since there are so many letters and postcards in Ottoline Goes to School, we’ll make one of our own!
Unusual Subjects
At the Alice B. School for the Differently Gifted, there are some very unusual subjects, like Giggling Studies and Weeping Workshop. What other funny, impossible subjects would we like to study in school?
Taking this further, we’ll also look at the days of the week and rewrite it in an unusual way!
Different Gift
Right through Ottoline Goes to School, Ottoline can’t figure out what her unusual gift is! What gifts do we have? What do we think we’re good at, and what do we feel we could get better at with a little more practice? I’d love for the children to tell me and show me!
