Boa Constrictor
Oh, I'm being eaten
By a boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
A boa constrictor,
I'm being eaten by a boa constrictor.
And I don't like it -- one bit.
Well, what do you know?
It's nibblin' my toe.
Oh gee,
It's up to my knee.
Oh my,
It's up to my thigh.
Oh, fiddle
It's up to my middle.
Oh heck,
It's up to my neck.
Oh dread,
It's upmmmmmmmmmmmmmmfffffff.

The Taste of Colored Water

I would like you to write your thoughts on The Taste of Colored Water. How did it make you feel? Should the parents tell Jelly and Lulu the truth about what the people in the city were doing? What do you want to change about the book? What do you still wonder?

Junie B. Jones

Junie B. Jones always tricks her grandfather into breaking the rules. What do you think about that? What should Junie B. do? What should her mother do?

Amelia Bedelia

Amelia Bedelia gets a lot of things mixed up! I loved it when she put the baby powder on herself instead of the baby because the list only said "use the baby powder". Why do you think Amelia Bedelia gets everything mixed up? If you could write an Amelia Bedelia book, what would the title be?

Skippyjon Jones

Skippyjon Jones is one of my favorite books in the world! Skippyjon is the silliest cat I have ever seen. I love when he sings songs and makes up some Spanish words. They are so silly they make me laugh!

Knuffle Bunny

My favorite part of Knuffle Bunny is when the author described Trixie as going "boneless". It made me laugh because I have seen toddlers do this when they have a temper tantrum. What was your favorite part of the story? What did the story remind you of?
