Rascal

Our most recent book club choice was Rascal by Sterling North.  Nick read this book to Hermoine when she was six or seven, but it's one of those that isn't a hardship to repeat.    It's about a boy in the early 1900's who finds and tames a raccoon.   We all really loved it and the girls did a lapbook on raccoons to go along with it each night while I read.   I had initially printed up the lapbook for Ramona, but Hermoine asked for one as well.    Homeschoolshare.com is a fantastic site for free printables including lapbooks.   This is the link for the one we used.   Below are some snapshots of the girls' lapbooks. 

Our next book club choice is The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo.   I can't wait!
