Thread the free end of the yarn through the hole in the bottom of Oatmeal Monster and pull it out the mouth. Keep tugging until the anchor is pressed against the bottom of Oatmeal Monster. LS.8 The student will investigate and understand interactions among populations in a biological community. Key concepts include Finally, monster 3 (otherwise known as “Tube Monster”). Wrap a toilet paper tube with construction paper, then use the color masking tape to create stripes (or skip the tape and just use markers). He followed the story and it kept his attention to the end and the repetition means that he will be able to join in when we have read it a few more times. It’s time to rig up your pull string! Use the box cutter to create slits in the bottom of Oatmeal Monster and Cup Monster. Then use the blades of the scissors to enlarge the slits into holes:

Ultimately, of course, Louis' sister rescues him and they head for home (again using the items found en route) Review source: Boudreau, Tanya. "The Day Louis Got Eaten." School Library Journal 58.9 (2012): 114. Academic Search Complete. Web. 22 July 2013. Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri... The Day Louis Got Eaten is a children's book written and illustrated by John Fardell and published in 2011 by Andersen Press Ltd. Fardell creates a variation on the Old Woman who swallowed a fly in this hilarious adventure involving Sarah and her little brother Louis, who unfortunately gets eaten by a Gulper, who in turn gets eaten by another four monsters.The brother and sister go on an adventurous ride which involves the sister gathering items along the way which enable her to follow her younger brother who has been swallowed whole by a huge monster. The story is a little like 'there was an old woman who swallowed a fly' in that subsequent monsters then swallow the previous monster with little Louis still inside. The continuity of the story is lovely with the big sister following, using the items she has gathered to help her follow over canyons, the sea and perilously high cliffs.

I loved this book the second I read the first sentence. The bluntness and light-heartedness with which Fardell presents what should be a set of tragic events gives the story great comic effect. Equally, its use of repetition should engage children and encourage ‘joining in’ (National Curriculum, p21) after a few reads through. In particular, the constant re-occurance of the phrase ‘but, unfortunately’ will both introduce children to the idea of conjunctives (even if the word is not understood at first) as well as allowing them to explore the idea of narrative structure and sequencing (p24). Selection Criteria: Though intended for younger audiences, this book could be a great classroom read for science students to connect with the topic of food webs and predator/prey relationships. The creatures in the story have an obvious hierarchy among them to create a food chain and the sister of the main character has a great propensity for invention in the modifications she makes to her bike to save her little brother. A strong female protagonist is a great tool to be able to use in any classroom to show all students that girls can be heroes too. Teachers could have students create their own inventions to solve the problem of Louis being eaten, or perhaps discuss why they think the food chain goes the way it does in the story. There is also a strong message about family and doing anything to help one another that is important for students of all ages. Older students could definitely relate to the theme of having a younger sibling or family member get into trouble and having to save them, or even needing a family member to save them. The illustrations are also bright, fun, and well done which would appeal to potential readers.In this comic-style book Manfred is the baddest baddie of all, robbing people, kidnapping inventors and planning evil ways to rule the world. Brilliant book. I had to buy it for my grandsons after getting it from the library. Aged 5 and 3 they absolutely love it. Set in a futuristic world of exotic settings, monorails and high-rise buildings, you're sure to love exploring these amazing pictures!
