Mr. Lemoncello’s Very First Game by Chris Grabenstein just released, and it’s fantabulous! It’s the kind of story that everyone should read: it’s exciting, it’s full of adventure, and there are all sorts of character lessons and discussion opportunities tied up with the puzzles and riddles and problems of the story. That means that it’s a wonderful book to hand to your child, and you can feel confident that they’re reading an exciting but age-appropriate read.
You could go a step further, though. You could make this a class or family read-aloud, a book club book, or a choice for literature circles – and then you could dig deep into all of those exciting topics and character-building moments together. You could have groups debating the issues and exploring how Grabenstein used this book to set up the man that Luigi L. Lemoncello would later become.
I want to help you make the most of all the excitement and energy and wisdom found in Mr. Lemoncello’s Very First Game! That’s why I’ve created a reading guide, full of discussion questions, short essays, vocabulary lists, and creative writing prompts of all sorts – so that you can just enjoy having fun with the story with your kids.
I have more ideas, though, so stay tuned for more Lemoncello fun to come!
