Girls Only Book Club News
The Rising Readers Book Club met on
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 to discuss the book Ramona Quimby, Age 8
by author Beverly Cleary. When asked to describe her favorite part
of the book, club member Natasha shared a picture that she had drawn
in the likeness of the book’s cover, saying that “the entire book
was my favorite.” The girls, who range in age from eight to ten
years old, all agreed that they “like Ramona because she goes
through the same things that we do.”
Prior to the discussion, the girls
enjoyed graham crackers and apple juice, the same snack that Ramona,
the book’s main character, ate every day. The group concluded the
session by designing their own “Fabric Scrap Flip Flops” which were
reminiscent of the new sandals that Ramona wore in the story that
“made her feet look awfully big.” The books, snacks and craft
supplies are provided by the Friends of the Library of Flagler
County.
The Rising Readers chapter of the
GIRLS ONLY Book club meets on the third Tuesday of every month at
4:30 p.m. in the library’s Story Hour Room. Pre-registration is
required as space is limited. For more information contact the
