what we did for Truman's Aunt Farm
My kids loved the humour of this book and I was really surprised when my DD reminded me that we'd read it before from the library. It's so rare FIAR books are in our library, I don't usually bother to look - although they have bought in one or two in that I've requested ...
Anyway, to see what we did and the extra resources I found,

Looks like you all had a great week! Glad you found the book at the library.
Love rowing with my little rower, Hannah Grace.

Truman's Ant farm
I see that you are in the UK. Did this work with the accents? I have put off doing this book as the way I say "ant" and "aunt" is so different that I don't think the children would get the joke.
Probably need a CD of this one!

Sarah, try reading it in a northern accenti guess you'll just have to explain about different pronunciations in different regions. It's such a funny book, I'm sure they'd love it anyway. The joke is explained pretty early on through the pictures :0)
