Dear Mr. Henshaw

This week we have been reading Dear Mr. Henshaw, by Beverly Cleary for our novel study.  This book is about a boy, Leigh Botts, who writes to his favorite author.  We like this book because it has parts that are hilarious.  For example, Leigh makes up some funny songs about a shoe on the highway.  We are also writing letters like Leigh.  Our letters are to Mrs. Nelson about books that we are reading.  This is a text-to-self connection that we have made about the book.
