Mercy Watson

Which Mercy Watson book is your favorite? Why? 

Michael (4): "I like the Halloween one. Because chapter four is the best! Mercy was trying to catch the cat."

Daniel (4): "I like the movie one. Mercy ate all the sodas and popcorn!"

We read the majority of these books out on the hammock this summer. The buddies think Mercy is hilarious and are always excited to finish a book and move on to the next. They've really taken ownership of this series! They are often making trains of the books, bringing them along on campouts and trips, and flipping through the pages and retelling the stories the best they can remember.

The Greatest Star on Earth

Who is our favorite character in this circus series? Why?

Evy (7): "Ella the Elephant. Because she's an elephant. And she's so cute!"

Gabe (10): "The Flying Banana Brothers are super funny acrobats. They always think they know the directions: up, down, this way, that way!"

Julia (12): "I like the mice because they are funny."

Daniel (5): : "The lion, because he has a mane."

Michael (5): "The elephant, because she's in the circus."
