Hello Most Excellent Ones,
One of my favourite days at my school (CAIS) is the annual, " dress up as a book character," day. It is celebrated at the end of the four week long read-a-thon (mid Feb to Mid March) where kids are encouraged to read and raise money for worthwhile charities like the Bohoy school in Cambodia. How many of the following characters, below have you read something about? Those I have are indicated with Yep (yes) and maybe a comment. Nope means I have never done so, or in fact I have no clue who the character is. Take the test. Can you beat me?
Sherlock Holmes. Yep
Paperbag Princess. Yep
Robot Mouse? Huh? Nope
Flat Stanley. Yep
Fantastic Mr. Fox. Great movie. Yep
Thomas the Train and Cinderella. Were tough reads. Yep and Yep.
Cat in the Hat. Oh yeah baby. Big yep there. Green Eggs and Ham is a classic. Do you want to eat them here or there?
Princesses. Nope. Guys like me who read the Hardy Boys did not waste their time on princesses.
Nope.
Batman! I mean Batmen! Big Yep there! Channel 4 4 o'clock BATMAN!! Everyday in Black and White! Read some comics about him too.
Darth Vader and the Amazing Spiderman. Yep, Yep.
Captain American. He's cool. Yep.
A fairy? Serious nope there. Guys like me who read serious books like the Hardy Boys did not mess with fairies either.
Little Red Riding Hood. Everyone should be getting a yep here.
Classic Munsch. 50 Below Zero. Yep
This is Raphael, but I have no clue who he is and forgot to ask. Nope.
The old lady in the shoe wears army boots! Yep
Mary Poppins. Yeeeeep. Bits and pieces cause my teacher made me.
Cleopatra framing herself. Hmmm. Nope. Guys like me who read Hardy Boys did not have any interest about Cleopatra. Yet now……..hmmmm
Woody! A big Yep there.
Aye Matey. A good pirate story is always grand. Yep
Harry Potter. Never read a word from the books, tried watching minutes of a HP movie and got bored. I know him but I don't like him. Just don't get. No imagination I guess. NOPE.
A beefeeter. Reminds me of HP sauce, and the queen. Nope.
Have a great week everyone.
Dirk
