Review # 1 was written on 2018-03-28 00:00:00 Jhone Lmom First sentence: Poppleton's friend Hudson was visiting one night. Premise/plot: Poppleton Everyday is an early chapter book with three stories. In the first story, Poppleton and his friend (his mouse friend) go stargazing. In the second story, Poppleton goes shopping for a NEW bed. (How will he know which bed is the right bed?!) In the third story, Poppleton is talked into going sailing by a friend. My thoughts: I really enjoyed this one! Poppleton continues to delight. I can't believe I'm only now discovering this gem of a character. My favorite story in this one is "The New Bed." He lay on his back. He lay on his side. He lay with one leg over the edge. He lay with both legs over the edge. He lay on his head with his bottom in the air. "How many different ways do you sleep?" asked the saleslady. "About twenty," said Poppleton. "Do you have any books?" he asked. The saleslady brought Poppleton a book. Poppleton propped up some pillows and read a few pages. The saleslady looked at her watch. "Do you want to buy the bed?" she asked Poppleton.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-08 00:00:00 Peder Lerud The third book in the Poppleton series, Poppleton Everyday highlights a few of the pig's everyday experiences, including a tumultuous sailboat ride, a shopping trip for a new bed, and stargazing. Poppleton charms with his quirky adventures that resolve almost as quickly as they initially fell apart. 1st or 2nd grade students would thoroughly enjoy reading this book independently. The stories are humorous and easy to follow, peppered with relevant vocabulary and predictable sentence structures. Students are accustomed to animal personification, so the vibrant illustrations of Poppleton the pig and his animal friends would be familiar to them. Rylant has created a likable and sincere character in Poppleton. I love that his world is vibrant and populated with loyal friends.
