Etta's Book Club - February 2008
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
By E.L. Konigsburg
 


This has been a favorite book for over 30 years and is sure to be a classic! If you read this book, you must promise not to run off to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City like the main characters do! You will never visit a museum again without thinking, I wonder where I would sleep if I had to hide out here? And how long could you really hide anyway?

Project of the Month: After reading this book you will certainly be in the mood to do a little sculpting, perhaps an angel? This craft kit includes instructions to make a basic angel. Make it your own and be creative. The kit includes three packages of sculpey II clay, great for beginners and pros alike. After the clay is sufficiently softened, sculpt away, bake in the oven following directions, embellish as desired and enjoy your masterpiece!
