Please, Parents Help!

• We need “BOB” questionsAll BOB questions begin with the phrase “In which book…” or IWB. The answer to all BOB questions is the title of a BOB book.

Example:In which book does a spider and a pig become friends. Answer: Charlotte’s Web

BOB questions can range from easy to really, really difficult.

Example of a difficult question:IWB is there a barn in the “pine-tree state”? Answer: Charlotte’s Web

To help, choose a BOB book, read it and submit 20 BOB questions to Darla before December. We need a ton of

questions, so read and submit questions to as many books as you can. THANKS!!
