Young ladies Book Club

In December Emma was invited to join a book club for girls her age. It really is a lot of fun for her. She gets to read books she wouldn't normally pick. This has helped her realize that there are so many books out there to enjoy. In December they read The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and for January it was Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. We hosted for Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and it was a lot of fun.
 
We played a timeline game and the girls had to put all of the pictures in the order they appeared in the book.
Then we discussed the book.
We found some questions on line to help them think about the book. 
I was impressed because we had a rather good discussion.

In the book we read it didn't really have any references to food so I was hard pressed to come up with a treat that went with the book until I found out that Banana splits were created the same year the book was written. Perfect! The girls loved making their banana splits and imagining that this is a treat Rebecca would have enjoyed.
I hope it helps Emma to continue her love for reading.  I am so glad that certain moms are smart enough to think of it and invite my daughter to be a part of it.

What a fun idea! Anneka is now asking me why we don't do this? I don't know! Maybe because I am not as fabulous Megan! Emma is a lucky girl!!

That is a fabulous fun idea. I love being in my book club and hadn't thought of doing that with the kids.
