Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

If you read all the books we gave out this summer, then you read at least three books.  People who read a lot get smarter and become better readers.  I hope you enjoyed these fun books.  I know I did.

Which book was your favorite and why?

Chapter 18 - Still Waiting

The author ends the book with this sentence, "And so far as I know, they are still waiting."  This sentence is evidence of one of the farmers' character traits.  What character trait would you use to describe the farmers?

Chapter 15 - Bean's Secret Cider Cellar

I feel Mr. Fox and the other animals have had a lot of good luck in finding all the food and cider so far.  I'm beginning to wonder if their luck will run out, and they will get caught.  What do you think and why?
