Please take a look when you get a chance. This is one of the books for Eagle Pointe's Battle of the Books this year! Maybe you can do a "Skype" Special Appearance during our battle? Talk soon, Mrs. McKee Mary:

To have someone do that for you is a privlage. To do somthig as brve as that they must like books!!!

I often leave out descriptions of characters. Is it because I want kids to create their own pictures? Sometimes I think it's because I'm inhabiting my own characters so closely that I'm seeing them from the inside out rather than the outside in. Don't know if that makes sense. The German edition of The Naked Mole-Rat Letters uses a photo of "Frankie." Longish red hair. Very cute. I imagined that Ayanna was from Kenya. Sometimes readers send me their descriptions, and it's always fascinating. Thanks for sharing. I’d love to see a picture. I often leave out descriptions of characters.

She is excited to tell the class about the book when she does her presentation. She was curious on how you envisioned Frankie and Alyanna to look like? Somehow she is not concerned about the men of the book, Robert or Johnny, but it would be fun to know what you envisioned them to look like too? Thanks for inspiring another child. Yours truly, Natalie’s mom Marcia McKee Preschool Teacher Plainfield, Illinois MrsMbookclubs on blogspot or tufftony@comcast.net for Natalie Well, Natalie completed her book report and won again for the best book project! She created a story wheel for the Naked Mole Rat Letters in the colors of the book and placed a red dot in the middle(representing the tomato)! The character drawings were impressive and summary reflected a clear understanding of the book. I will have to send you a picture! I am so proud!! Natalie McKee says:
