Guided Reading: J
* Although this was my son's first Poppleton the Pig book, Poppleton has starred in several books written by Cynthia Rylant. Poppleton Has Fun is number 7 in the series. As the title of this book suggests, in each of the three stories Poppleton has some kind of fun. His friends Cherry Sue (a llama), Hudson (a mouse), and Fillmore (a goat) also make appearances in the various stories. In the first story Poppleton goes to the movies alone...which doesn't sound like much fun! In the second story Poppleton makes a quilt with his friends and in the third story he enjoys taking a bath.
We are fans of Cynthia Rylant's Henry and Mudge series and weren't disappointed with this book. The series doesn't have to be read in order, as we discovered, reading book number 7! The stories are fun and focus on friendship. My son was able to read these on his own to me....which surprised me to discover he's reading at a second grade reading level! We will definitely be reading more Poppleton books!
We own this book.
Family Rating: 1 1/2 thumbs up.
