More Mem Fox

Posted in Author Fiesta

We actually finished our study of Mem Fox  last month. I checked out every one of her books that our library had and we read them all that same afternoon. Then we read Where Is the Green Sheep about twenty more times. It is definately my little girls new favorite.  I think we will check it out again on our next trip to the library. Joann at Ten Kids and a Dog came up with a really cute idea to use with this book, and I'd like to try it out.

 

I also found a unit study  for Hattie and the Fox that looks like a lot of fun. There are also these instructions showing how to Make Your Own Chicken. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of the books our library had.

 

I must say, I wasn't entirely impressed with this author. Though she did have several books that we really lliked, there were several others that had witches and magic in them. These are not things we like our children to read about. It just shows that you can't make asumptions when choosing books for children.

We tried a few of Mem Fox's book for Author Fiesta, but my daughter thought they were "too young." I can't wait to see who the next author is as I fell in love with Patricia Polacco's books!
