This was a big hit. My class loved the funny pictures of monsters and descriptions of different kinds of monsters. It seemed to make total sense that a kid would beg for a pet monster. They made connections, as we read, about times they have asked their parents for a pet.
In the end, one of the student said, "Hey! We should make our own monsters and write stories about them!" Every year we write a "gloopy", which is basically a story about a monster. It is all the better when the idea comes from them!!
Tomorrow we shall start our monster stories.
Goodreads summary:
Winnie wants a monster! Some monsters smell like pirate feet and some might read your diary, but they are so darn cute! All Winnie’s friends have one. But how much do Oogly-Wumps eat? Don’t they ever sleep? Can monsters get lonely?
