What a great book for a book club!Camillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-1163131391618835392006-11-09T22:03:11.616-06:002006-11-09T22:03:11.616-06:00Yes I can tell that there is some screenplay background! I was actually talking to some of my Book Club members and we were trying to figure out who we thought would be good for the voices of the characters if it was a movie. I think children who read this book can relate to the issues of friendship and find that it has an interesting story to go along with it.Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02660360098377941706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-1162333955509152972006-10-31T16:32:35.510-06:002006-10-31T16:32:35.510-06:00I just read Pond Scum and I was wondering if you would consider it to be Science Fiction or Modern Fantasy. I am in a Children's Literature class right now and I was having trouble trying to classify it. <BR/><BR/>I also wanted to say that I really liked this book. The only problem I had was when The General was beating up on Oliver when he was a snake. It was very disturbing to me, and I wonder if children would react the same way as I did. All I can say is that I was very happy that everything worked out in the end!Naomihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02660360098377941706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-1161843116528810442006-10-26T01:11:56.526-05:002006-10-26T01:11:56.526-05:00This would be a great novel for science teachers to use. It would be a fun read aloud.Camillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-1161695558528103552006-10-24T08:12:38.530-05:002006-10-24T08:12:38.530-05:00I've heard of this book from my students who have been laughing with it all year. I just ordered one to see if I can use it for my Science unit.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
