Ms. Peanars

Madeleine wrote a new book that she wanted to take into school for a Share today.  Ethan and I were a little hesitant over her bringing a book with the title character sounding so much like "Penis":

Ms. Peanars
Written and illistrated by Madeleine Rowe


Especially because of this typo on one of the pages:

I mean...she squeezed the "R" in with a marker...but...you can't really see it.


Anyway, it seems as if all went well in sharing her book today, so I guess now it's time to share with all of you!

"They all called her Little Lassy, but her real name was Lucia.  She was a wonderful cowgirl with a silly personality but when she moved to England she pretended to be a lady.  But soon she got her new name when they found out her last name.  MS. PEANErS  They said she was a Miss, but some didn't want it so she was called Ms. Peanars.

"But Lucia hated being a lady and hated being called Ms. Peanars.  So she always made her lips be cracked to show how much she hated it.  Oh, but don't worry.  When she goes out west she get's to be herself!  Ridng swiftly on her horse, Julie, Lucia would have a wonder of a time."

"Lucia, Lucia, who hated Ms. Peanars.  Ms. Peanars, Ms. Peanars, who loved Lucia.  With her horse and her lady-like act makes her the perfect little girl.  Sadly, Lucia, mostly had to be Ms. Peanars.  After all, she did live in England."


(Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they have no idea what the heck is going on in this book??)

"Even though she hated it, she still had to be Ms. Peanars.  An invisible raincloud would form over her head when she thought about it.  But luckily, she still gets to be herself at times.  Lucia!"

WOW.  That story was something else.  A great choice to share at school.  Madeleine!
