Mystery Reader…revealed!
Today, we were delighted to welcome another mystery reader to our classroom … Mrs. H! She chose to read a wonderful story called The Gift of Nothing by Patrick McDonnell.Â
It is a story where the main characters are Mooch the cat and Earl the dog. Mooch wants to buy his friend a gift, but Earl already has everything! Money can buy many things, but as we discussed, there’s one thing money can’t buy, and that is love, friendship, and happiness. Can you guess what Mooch ended up wrapping up in a box for his friend, Earl?
A big thank-you to Mrs. H for her fantastic reading and spending time with us today. We are grateful!
Dear Mrs. Sullivan,
I think that there is nothing inside of the box Mooch gives to his friend. It is called the gift of nothing for a reason right? I feel bad I wasn’t there!

Dear C.M.,
You just may be right…but read the book to find out for sure!
