Pooh and his "challenges" advice

Hi I'm Winnie the Pooh and find myself facing a new adventure everyday. Life is so fun and I enjoy talking and being around my friends, Eeyore and Piglet. I love to sing and eat honey. Honey is my favorite thing in the whole wide world. Well... besides Christopher Robin of coarse. When you find yourself in a challenging situation in life have perseverance and look to the people you love for advice. The friendships I have made keep me going and happy. Learn from me and get to know people.

Enjoy your journey

XOXO

Because of Winn Dixie: Winn Dixie

I am Winn Dixie and I solve problems with a smile. Smiling is the key to all solutions. I like to have fun whenever I possibly can and chase the mouse in the church. That is a really fun problem to solve! Other than that, I love my life and remember to always smile!

 Congrats to those of you who have blogged and read.  Continue reading.  And here is your next blogging assignment.

1)  In children's literature, the protagonists are commonly children who act independently of adults to meet and resolve various challenges. Their experiences may seem fantastic or realistic; they may work alone or with friends. But regardless of the characters' circumstances, they solve problems.

Choose, from your book, one of the following characters. Write your next blog from that character's point of view and in that character's voice. The topic of your blog should be “Advice for Solving Problems and Facing Challenges”. The character choices are: Pooh, Piglet, Mary, Dickon, Laura, Pa. Hugo, India Opal Buloni, Winn-Dixie, or Salamanca.

2) Comment on two of your fellow bloggers' posts.  Comments can provide analysis, ask for clarification, provoke discussion, or give support, but should never be derogatory or insulting.

Abysmal options

Not to complain or anything, but all of these books have really terrible covers. I was initially attracted to Because of Winn-Dixie since it's the only book on the list with a halfway decent title, but after a quick google image search yielded several horrifyingly sappy-looking pictures of a girl and a dog, I was frightened away. After finding that pretty much all the books have some combination of terrible name and/or title, I settled on Winnie the Pooh, which seemed the least offensive of all the options. Remember class, always judge a book by its cover. And title. Hasta luego.

Because of Winn-Dixie

Hey guys, sorry I'm a little late but I'll be reading Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo! I saw the movie and I loved it so I thought it'd be cool to read the book too.
