Have You Seen This Man?

No... he hasn't appeared on any milk cartons recently.

But you might know him just the same. 

He's often in the company of his fine cat, Tabby, 

and his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry.

I know you're probably thinking,

 "You know... he does look familiar."

Rather than prolong the guessing any longer,  

I'll go ahead and share with you.

It's Mr. Putter!

(You were probably going to guess his name next, 

weren't you?)  Yeah.  Right.  Whatever.

In any case, my kiddos just completed a book study about this lovely man.

He is, by far, one of my favorite characters and my kids 

 thoroughly enjoyed him as well. 

Despite the vast age difference.

So, to culminate this study I decided we needed to MAKE Mr. Putter

and compare/contrast him with Zeke, Mrs. Teaberry's dog.

Here are two more excellent representations...

I love this "uncertain" expression!  

And here's a quick shot of the complete display.

Mr. Putter(s) in all their glory.

I'll be back in a few days with a template for you.

He's just too fun not to share!

Happy Reading!

Read a Book and Create a Craft

Whew!  After yesterday's twelve hour marathon school day (school + faculty meeting + one PTO meeting) I almost didn't think I was going to have the energy to post this until later in the week.  I'm thinking my power surge tonight must be a result of the hotdog/store-bought cookie combo meal I was served for dinner. Hey, it was for free. You won't hear me complain.

In any case, I said I would post the template for the Chester book and here I am.  (Does it matter that I'm a day or so later than expected?  Geez!  Give me a break!)

 The template can be found here and it's for free, too! 

If you have the time, please consider leaving me a comment.  I'd love to hear from you!

Happy Reading!
