  6. Poetry Shel Silverstein: http://www.shelsilverstein.com/play.asp You might want to try some of the games under the Games & Puzzles link. (My favorite is Practice Being a Poet)  The Children’s Poetry Archive http://www.poetryarchive.org/childrensarchive/poetsHome.do There are oodles of poems here. Which is your favorite? What do you like about it? J. Patrick Lewis http://www.jpatricklewis.com/ Click on the link Poems/Riddles. Try the riddles out. When you’ve given them all a try, look at the answers. Did you get them right? Did they make sense after you read the answer? Try writing one or two of your own riddles. Also, check out the Links link. Visit one or two websites of other poets. What do you think about their websites?

  7. Series Books by Author J.K. Rowling: The Harry Potter series www.jkrowling.com http://harrypotter.scholastic.com/ www.pottermore.com Have fun on all of these websites. Enjoy going “behind the scenes” of the Harry Potter novels. Read some of the new character material J.K. Rowling has posted under Extras at jkrowling.com. Turns out, Hermione’s birthday is the day after mine! R.L. Stine: Goosebumps series http://www.scholastic.com/goosebumps/index.htm R.L. Stine’s biography has excellent advice, if you want to be a writer when you grow up. If you’re a fan of the books, check out the link under Books/AudioGoosebumps graphix. Some of the games are spook-tacular, too!

  8. More Series Books by Author… Dav Pilkey: Captain Underpants series http://www.pilkey.com/books.php The trailer for Super Diaper Baby 2: The Invasion of the Potty Snatchers made me giggle.

Mo Willems: The Pigeon series http://www.pigeonpresents.com/books.aspx Apparently, Pigeon has a lot of friends causing mischief and mayhem, too. Check them out in the Pals link (the pink button on the left of the screen) Lemony Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events http://www.lemonysnicket.com/games.html If you’re looking for a cheerful website where everyone lives happily ever after, then you’re in the wrong place!
