We read The Fox in the Dark by Alison Green. A fox is sighted by many animals in the dark forest one night. One a time they each end up at rabbit’s house seeking refuge and a place to sleep for the night. Rabbit’s bed gets crowded. Animals are shoving and pushing for space. Still, there is knocking on the door. A small fox wants a place to stay. He is lost and can’t find his mom. Finally, Momma knocks on the door looking for him. The animals surprise her by letting her and her little one stay for the night. This book scared JDaniel a little the first time we read it. When he realized the fox wasn’t looking for a midnight snack, he relaxed and enjoyed subsequent readings of the story.
What did we do?
Craft
- It has become a tradition for JDaniel and me to visit his Aunt Jane at the high school she works in costume and deliver her a treat. This year I had him decorate an old shoebox with Halloween stickers. We put cookies we baked into the box and took it to her school on Wednesday. She loved the box and I bet she inhaled the cookies.
Writing a Poem

- JDaniel loves to sit beside me or on my lap and work on the computer. We went to a great website called Read Write Think and wrote a poem about the moon using their

How cute! I love that he gives a treat on Halloween – it’s a nice change-up from always getting the treat.
What a great craft. I especially loved the shape poem. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be checking out that website.

Don’t know why my image wouldn’t work but we had a great rainy day book, song and craft that we did!
I would have inhaled the home baked cookies too:-). What a sweet idea to take a treat in like that! That box is adorable.
Thanks for sharing the poem link too, and for hosting this linky each week.
I love that you are already doing poems with him I would have thought my little guy was too little. I love how you used his words. What a cool activity!
I linked up! That sounds like a really nice tradition, visiting his aunt at school. That looks like a good interactive site – thanks for the idea.
