We did Humphrey too and actually got a hamster for the school that classes took turns taking care of each day.  Big hit!

Good morning,
We have a lovely new principal at Mitchell Elementary School in Woodbury.  She is an eager supporter of literacy and she wants to do a One School, One Book program for our K-5 school.  Be still my LMS heart!  I am so excited! I am struggling to find the right title for our school.  Our community is a bit resistant to pushing boundaries, so I want to make the first selection as minimally controversial as possible. That being said, I would prefer to select something by an author from an underrepresented group if possible.  My principal would prefer a chapter book to extend the duration of the program. I am considering A Boy Called Bat or one of the Humphrey books.  We were hoping to get it rolling this fall and I want to be sure the title is appropriate for all levels. Every book I read that I think may be a good fit seems a bit high for K or juvenile for 5.  Any suggestions?  I appreciate any feedback or insight.  Thanks in advance and enjoy your remaining summer.

With gratitude,
Allison Loiseau
