Amazing Reading!

Ella Hurst-Whitworth —

Last week for reading we got a chapter book called War Horse! (that we will be continuing for awhile). With the book, we have some activities for each chapter we do. At the end of each chapter we get back together and talk about the questions.

The War Horse is about Albert and his beloved horse, Joey, that lived on a farm in the British countryside.  At the outbreak of World War l, Albert and Joey are forcibly parted when Albert's father sells the horse to the British Cavalry.  Against the backdrop of the Great War, Joey begins an  odyssey full of danger, joy and sorrow,  he transforms everyone he meets along the way. Meanwhile Albert, unable to forget his equine friend, searches the battlefields of France to find Joey and bring him home.

So that's a bit about War Horse; and I have a feeling that this book is going to be amazing!  😜
