Books about books are always a joy to read at my book club! We’re reading In the Woof of Time at my reading programme for ages nine and ten and Mini’s Books at the one for ages seven and eight.
Anyone who grew up on Enid Blyton wanted to eat scones, crumpets and treacle. I was one of them, and so, this book is all the more believable. Mini wants to eat the food the Big Little Monsters in the books she reads eat. And through her summer holidays, she slowly learns more and more about these monsters–and discovers all the surprising consequences of reading books! Thanks to her stories, she makes a friend, becomes a detective, learns to entertain herself and even starts to cook!
Monster Stories
I love monster stories! The wonderful thing about monsters is that they can take any form whatsoever. They can be tiny or huge, friendly or ferocious. Together, we’ll create a monster of our own!
Recipes
What are Tooth Crunchers, Bone Crackers and Round-Rounds? Let’s use our imagination and write recipes for each of these. Will we find them as much fun as the Big Little Monsters in Mini’s Books?
Colour the Story
Just like when we read Lucky, It’s Summer!, we’ll spend some time colouring the pictures in the story. Colouring monsters will be particularly enjoyable!
