Check out this extremely awesome book!

In reading we've been working on book recommendations. Here's the first one we wrote as a class:

Have you ever lost your mom? In this book, A Mama for Owen by Marion Dane Bauer, Owen loses his mom. In a big rainstorm Owen, the hippo, and his family were separated. Then Owen searches for his mom, but instead he finds a new one. Can you guess who it is?
We enjoyed this heartwarming story based on a true tale from Kenya. We suggest that you read this great realistic fiction book. Happy reading!

  3. I will definitely keep reading. I live in St. Louis, so the blog is a good way to stay in touch with what's going on. From what I can tell so far, 403 Scholars rock!
