![]() ![]() The One and Only Ruby features first-person narrative author’s use of literary devices (personification, imagery) and story elements (plot, character development, perspective). Artist Patricia Castelao returns to the world of Ivan and his friends with gorgeous black-and-white interior illustrations to complete the story. In the timeless way that only Katherine Applegate could craft, this highly anticipated novel in verse is the perfect mix of heartfelt and humorous, poignant and sweet. Seeing him again brings back a flood of memories both happy and sad of her life before the circus, and she recounts the time she spent in the African savannah to Ivan and Bob. Now living in a wildlife sanctuary, Ruby’s caretaker from the elephant orphanage in Africa where she grew up is visiting. ![]() Ruby’s story picks up a few months after the events of The One and Only Bob. From beloved powerhouse author Katherine Applegate comes The One and Only Ruby, starring the adorable baby elephant from the Newbery Medal-winning modern classic The One and Only Ivan and its bestselling sequel, The One and Only Bob. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wigglebottom Learns about Bullies teaches us about the importance of asking for help when bullying doesn’t stop. We have been reading a lot of Howard B Wigglebottom books to help us learn about ourselves and our relationships. ![]() This book received a big round of applause. Why not make a memory quilt for Oma!? Some students made tex t to text connections to Eve Bunting‘s The Memory String. What about her precious things? Her neighbours? Cooking apple strudel? Even the bowling alley at the home doesn’t change her mind (smelly shoes!) While Emily and her mother are sorting through Oma’s possessions, Emily has a wonderful idea. ![]() The story: Emily’s Oma (grandmother) has to move to a retirement home and she is very reluctant to do so. Then I noticed it was written by Canadian author, Paulette Bourgeois (author of the Franklin books and Big Sarah’s Little Boots) This book was bound to be a good one! I tried it out with our reading group. I pulled it off the shelf because it is illustrated by Stephane Jorisch (who also illustrated Suki’s Kimono – one of my favourite books). While searching through the library for interesting picture books, I came across Oma’s Quilt. ![]() |
