    One activity I do with this book with my third graders is this:

    I divide the class into two groups. One group has to list all the reasons why they think the main character is a good person.
    The other group has to list all of the reasons the main character is mean or unkind.

    I did this in a teacher workshop and was not sure how the students would do with this, but they did great. It is amazing how much can be inferred from pictures.


    Another title I like to use is Punctuation takes a Vacation.

    We discuss all the types of punctuation and read the postcards. You can extend to have the students write new postcards as well.
