Character Contest Revisted!

Thanks to everyone who participated in this week's Character Contest!  As you may have read in last week's blog post, I challenged Ashaway School families to identify a title and author that matches each character name listed below.  (These are also the names of all the computers in the library!) 

Ramona *  Hooper Humperdink  * Amelia

Minerva Louise  * Mudge  *  Frog  * Moira  * Elmer

Wilbur  * Fudge  * Harold

 I received seven entries with a correct match for all 11 names...nice job!!  All of these students will be allowed to pick an item from the prize basket next week:

Eden Kelley

Drew Poirier

Hayleigh Conklin

Haiden and Hudson McKay

Skylar and Morgan Rucker

Nathan Clark

Zoe Coscia   

More than one person noted that some of the character names appear in more than one book with different authors.  For example, when I named "Wilbur" I was thinking of the pig in Charlotte's Web, but since then Mo Willems published Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed with a main character named Wilbur.  I accepted either answer, but gold star to the Kelleys for providing both!  :)

Everyone thinks of Amelia Bedelia, but as you'll see in the picture above there are several Amelias that have a home in our library.  The one on the right, written by Marissa Moss, was where I got the name for the computer.  The one on the left, from the Amelia Rules series by Jimmy Gownley, was published after the computers were named.  I'm a big fan of both series! 

Below you will see just some of the possible matching titles.  Thanks again to everyone who participated in the contest!
