Read Across America 2009, Part II
So it went better this morning at Hollyvale Elementary School, where I read to three classes. The sixth graders were again the least impressed — the school put out a selection of books that I think were just too young for them — but the two fourth grade classes I read to loved the two books I read, both by Robert Munsch, the Farrelly Brothers of children’s books: Pigs
Pigs, which features on the loose pigs that, among other things, pee on both the title character’s father’s and principal’s feet, was the bigger hit, although there were girls in one classroom that really seemed to click with Angela’s Airplane.
