It’s been nearly four years since we read The Absolutely True Adventures of Daydreamer Dev by Ken Spillman. We had fun reading it, and I hope The Astoundingly True Adventures of Daydreamer Dev will be as much fun with a new group of book clubbers!
Dev is a highly imaginative character. The smallest things set him off on the wackiest of daydreams. A question asked during his geography lesson sends him daydreaming to Antarctica. A conversation about volcanoes, and he lands up in Whakaari. Where can our book club escapades take us?
Where are you?
Physically, Dev may be in an autorickshaw, but his mind is far away in New Zealand!
What was the last place you read about? What if you were transported there? What do you think you would do, see or eat?
Daydreaming Adventures
Picture prompts always spark the imagination. I will give each child a different picture and we will write the outline of a rudimentary story. Story worksheets are great scaffolding tools to begin to write stories of our own!
Travel Adventures
What is the best holiday you’ve ever been on? What made it special? Can you tell us a story about it? Or better still, can you write an email to a friend about?
