Day 238 - Book Week Parade

I took so many photos of the great costumes today at our Book Week parade, but I have chosen to use this one, as it doesn't identify anyone, and secondly it was a great costume (I don't actually know if Sponge Bob is a book character - I thought he was on tv, but anyhow...). We had many Harry Potters, Mrs Strong, a few Sponge Bobs, a Dracula, the kid from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Pippi Longstocking, Willy Wonka (one of my personal favourites) and many other great characters. A conversation with one year six boy really made me laugh though... When I asked him who he was dressed as, he replied that he had come as Matty Johns. I just had to ask what book he was from. "The Centenary of League!" he said in a voice that meant 'of course!'

Day 236 - Jenna as Charlene

According to the Allen and Unwin website;

In a big, big city,
in a tiny, tiny apartment,
lived a tall, tall man
and twelve babies.
All the boys were called Alistair.
All the girls were called Charlene.
One day the door slams shut ... with the Charlenes on one side and the Alistairs on the other. What will the tall man do?

And so, here is Jenna as a Charlene! Guest photographer today is Jenna's Mum Sue, who took a much better photo than I did, post hair and makeup :)

Day 235 - Book Week Library Visit

Here's a picture of 1M's Indonesian decorated horses in the town library... right next to Sarah's gorgeous Thailand artworks. The book week theme this year is One World Many Stories and so displays were from around the world. Stage 1 visited the library today to see the displays and listen to some of the various stories that were up for nominations this year. I was interested to hear the story of The Tall Man and the Twelve Babies, as Jenna is going dressed as Charlene in her book week parade tomorrow :)
