What we didn’t talk about but a connection that I made was to a favourite series of picture books If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, If You Give a Dog a Donut, and If You Give a Pig a Pancake. I love book talk so I enjoyed listening to them and talking to them very much. Little details like this made the girls connect to the story and talk about things like: Would you give up your allowance for someone to share a secret with you? Do you think the classmate really knows a secret? Why do you think fifty cents was a lot of money then but isn’t now? Pretty interesting and driven forward by the girls. This evoked some conversation with my girls, as Andrew tells us that fifty cents is FIVE weeks of allowance. A classmate offers him a solution to this problem for fifty cents. All three of us, however, were in complete agreement that Freckle Juice was, as Blume typically is, funny, charming, and cute.Īndrew thinks that if he had freckles his life would be a lot easier. All of us enjoy a wide variety of books and have different tastes. She read it on her own and then asked if we could read it together with her sister who is ten. I had not read this yet and when my seven year old asked to borrow a book from my classroom library, it seemed like a safe one.
I received a free copy of Freckle Juice, by Judy Blume, as part of a Scholastic order that I placed for my classroom. Now published by Ingram Book & Distributor.
Chapter book for children aged 7 and up originally published by Four Winds Press, a Division of Scholastic.
