As we continue reading A Boy Called Bat, we’re excited to meet a new character, Laurence! We love seeing how kind and patient he is with Bat and how he helps take care of the animals. Characters like Laurence remind us how important kindness and understanding can be.
Our social media post today is all about creativity! Bat designs a special sling to carry the baby skunk, and we’d love to see your ideas. Show us your animal sling creation by posting either:
A picture of your sling made in real life, or a drawing of the sling you designed.
We can’t wait to see all the creative ideas our amazing families come up with! Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your participation makes our reading adventure even more special. If you haven't started reading you can catch up on it this weekend.
