Possible Discussion Questions

Beverly Cleary said that when she went to school she didn't have time to read, all she did was answer questions about books and do book reports.  Do you have time to read in your class?  Do you think you should have more quiet time to read?

Beverly Cleary mentioned that she was lucky that she was a child before radio and tv because her mother read aloud to her and her father every night.  Do you agree that she was lucky?

10 Interesting Things to Know about Violet Mackerel pdf download

• She was named after a small purple
flower with a very lovely smell.
• In French, which is the language her 
mum is learning, Violet’s name is 
Violette.
• Her favourite stone is moonstone, and 
 she has one of her own that she 
 sometimes puts under her pillow.
• She has the sort of hair that even if you 
comb and comb, it still looks a bit messy.
• As well as being Violet’s surname, 
mackerel is also a kind of fish which lays 
around a million eggs at one time.

• Violet would quite like to have a
smallish grey kitten of her own.
• Just in case she ever does get a kitten, 
she has a whole page of ideas for names 
written in one of her notebooks.
• When she is older Violet would like to 
be an archaeologist, but she also thinks it 
might be quite interesting to be a potter, a 
singer, a farmer, a marine biologist and a 
planter of trees. 
• At school she especially likes creative 
writing, painting, science and news.
• Apart from violets, her favourite flowers 
are fuchsias because they look a bit like 
tiny dancers with lots of feet.

The Year of the Book, Andrea Cheng

2014-2015 William Allen White Powerpoint

No kid knows more about zoo life than Whit. That's because he sleeps, eats and even attends home-school at the Meadowbrook Zoo. It's one of the perks of having a mother who's the zoo director and a father who's the head elephant keeper. Now that he's eleven, Whit feels trapped by the rules and routine of zoo life. With so many exotic animals, it's easy to get overlooked. But when Whit notices a mysterious girl who visits every day to draw the birds, suddenly the zoo becomes much more interesting. Who is the Bird Girl? And why does she come by herself to the zoo? Determined to gain her trust, Whit takes the Bird Girl on his own personal tour of the zoo. He shows her his favorite animals and what happens with them behind the scenes. For Whit, having a friend his own age that he can talk to is an exciting new experience. For Stella the Bird Girl, the zoo and Whit are a necessary escape from her chaotic home life. Together they take risks in order to determine where it is they each belong. But when Stella asks Whit for an important and potentially dangerous favor, Whit discovers how complicated friendship and freedom-- can be.
