In the first leg of my efforts to check out all the featured books I hadn't read, I checked out The Maggie B and brought it with me to the preschool class where I'm doing a practicum. What followed was a lengthy and boisterous impromptu class discussion on the topic: If You Had Your Own Ship, What Would It Be Called, Who Would be With You and What Would You Do? My favorite was a girl who decided it would be best to bring her entire family, their house, and everything they own on board. Truly though, it was the longest I'd seen this group of 4 and 5 year-olds collectively focused on one topic. The charm of a brilliantly imagined tale can be a powerful thing.
