What Are the Kids Reading? Camilla Cream and Mr. Popper, for Sure

Suppose you looked in the mirror one day and your face was full of stripes. That's what happened to Camilla Cream in A Bad Case of Stripes, by David Shannon. If it happened to you, how would you go to school?  How would you explain it to your family and friends?  Read this book and see if Camilla handles things as you would.

Or, if you're in the mood to laugh, check out Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater. The movie is being released soon. It would be fun to read the book, then compare it to the film to see what was the same and what was different.

Just remember to keep your brain muscles exercised by READING!
