Mr. Peabody's Apples by Madonna


A wonderful story to talk about character. Themes such as the power of rumor, honesty, believing in one's self, making conclusions and decisions before one has all the facts, etc. will focus our discussions. Use as an interactive read aloud (see article) with children from 7 years old and up. Note taking might include a character study or plot summary. A great book to reference from time to time when situations arise to make connections.

  1. This blog is going to be so fun to read each day, Pam! Even though I'm not in the classroom right now, I'm pumped to do a bunch of these ideas with Bear some day!!
