boiled worms, or fried?

I'm always looking for something to keep Katie's mind busy...

This summer, we decided to start a kids' book club. She invited several of her friends - we were pleasantly surprised at the response. They had finished reading How to Eat Fried Worms a few weeks prior to school being out, so we chose that as the first title. We found some discussion questions online, came up with some activities, and even had a delicious snack of gummy worms. The kids all had a great time, and I was very proud of Katie for the way she facilitated the discussion - she took it very seriously. I made sure my presence was known, but left everything else up to them.

At the end of the meeting, they voted on a book for the next meeting... The Doll People. Interesting choice, considering there are more boys than girls in the group. :)
