Bought this to read and go through with my son after learning his school uses the Lucy Calkins curriculum. 😭

Need to pause on this one...

Strategy: read really easy books in Spanish.

Slow progress reading in Spanish, BUT I'm understanding most of it!

Obsessed and disturbed... LOVE Saunder's ability to change his writing style for each story.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK.

Absolutely loving this!

Yep, doin' it. Reading the original Spanish version.

Reading with my 6-year-old. I'm loving it! He's tolerating it.

"I'm going to love these discarded Americans, even though they're useless and unattractive. That is going to be my work of art."

"And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun."

Reading this one to the kiddos. We're all enjoying it so far.

Gosh I'm enjoying reading this again. I remember getting it for the first time from Woodland Library in Los Altos, CA when I was a kid and just loving it. Reading it now, I'm still loving it.
