"The Special Favorite Book Day"
by Shane Detweiler

T'was not so long ago a day
when most of us were away
leaving those few and proud
to read to each other aloud

We had simply to take a look
and choose a right goodly book
from which to entertain and regale
with a delightful, homespun tale

We read passages of all sorts
and all present were literate sports
T'was fun! No, no, not at all crap
and if you missed it, here's the recap!

Cynthia- "How to read like a professor" (Foster)- we really all have only one story to be told.

Mitch- "Civil Disobediance" (Thoreau)- Quit your job. Don't support the man!

Stephanie-"Kitchen Table Wisdom" (Reimann)- story about a woman in a dress in an earthquake who arouses passion

Ann-"Anne of Green Gables" (Montgomery)- Matthew and Anne's trenchant buggy ride

Chris- "Ramona the Pest" (Cleary)- a young girl's wayward journey as she loses a tooth and "boings" a classmate

Brandie- "Little house in the big woods" (Wilder)- encountering a bear along a road, alone at night, like what happened to me about a year ago...

***welcome back Brandie!!!****

Gretchen- "Voyage of the Beagle" (Darwin)- reading from Chuck's various selections and a tale of an earthquake in Chile. I wonder why we all choose to read about earthquakes? Oh right! We're the Geospeakers!

Carol- "When we were very young" (Milne)- Tigger and Roo and Kanga learn what Tiggers can do

Shane- moving on...

Joanna- "Peter Pan in Kensington garden" (Barrie)- If you believe in me, clap everyone! I can't hear you! Clap! (Wait, was that in the story?)

No awards. None needed. See you all next week!
