It has been quite some time since I have talked about a book I've read. Mostly because it has been a while since I have done any serious reading, I'm sad to say. (though, I have mentioned it a time or two) However, I not only finished (and LOVED) this book, but I also did an oral book report on it. There's something I had not done in a very long time. I have told countless children about countless books over the years, but this was a full on book report. With my weekly homeschool group we are having a 'thing'. Not a contest, more of a reward project. If they tell me, and the group about a book they have read, they get a prize and their name on the wall. After they've done 5 the get a free ice cream via coupon donated by our local Dairy Queen. None of them, I think, had ever done anything like this, and one of the Moms asked for help. Her son loves to read, but had trouble telling her about what he had read. So I devised a scheme to get him to work on his narrative skills, and lo, a group-wide book report project was born. Obviously, I had to go first, to model this thing that I wanted them to do. This is where Kenny comes in.
