3rd Grade Book Club

Cheezits, Vitamin Water and Fruit Roll-Ups -- that was the fare provided at book club. Some of you may serve wine and gouda, but not at 3rd grade book club. At this gathering of 8-year-old girls, the girls actually discussed the book. It was adorable and amazing to see them analyze the 76 pages of Stephen Manes 'Be A Perfect Person In Just Three Days!' There was no drama about Helen's divorce, or Maxine's son not making the basketball team. I can appreciate the therapy that many book clubs offer its members but this was a nice change of pace. Book club with the focus on the book. Refreshing.

What's the best book you've read lately?
