By the Great Horn Spoon

 


What do you think was the most clever thing Praiseworthy and Jack did in this story?

Mom's Notes: We almost didn't read this one. We were moving on from our fascinating Westward Expansion studies to Christmastime. But I remembered how much the buddies and I enjoyed our mornings with Seaman. So we tried out a chapter. We were all hooked! (They didn't recall the story much from our first reading some years ago.) I truly enjoy sitting between my boys on the couch as they laugh out loud or beg from a few more pages. We read often in the evenings too, snuggled in their bottom bunk that is currently decked out in draped twinkly lights. Gabe even joined us for a chapter one night when he overheard us reading. ("Hey, this is a 'W' book!") Upon completion, we celebrated the story with a Gold Rush Day, complete with a viewing of the old Disney movie adaptation. It was hilarious!
