**Where Are You Going, Baby Lincoln? is Volume Three of the Tales from Deckawoo Drive series. The reading level is stepped up a bit from the original Mercy Watson books, making it a great next step for Mercy Watson fans. **Books do not have to be read in order. Baby Lincoln has gone her whole life with her older sister Eugenia telling her what to do. After dreaming about a trip and being bossed around by Eugenia once again, Baby Lincoln decides she has had enough and needs to take a "necessary" trip. Baby Lincoln has never gone off on her own. She meets new friends along the way and discovers that there is more to learn about herself than what she's been told by her sister, Eugenia. Will Baby Lincoln ever return to her sister Eugenia? This fun and adventurous story will quickly draw your child in and they’ll be sure to fall in love with this book series. During our sessions, I will help learners dive a little deeper into our story by leading them through discussions and activities related to the chapters read. Learners will also have the opportunity to share their responses from the assigned activities. Before the start of each class, learners will need to read 3 chapters. We will dive a little deeper into our story during our sessions through teacher-led discussions and activities related to the chapters read. This book club is a great opportunity for your child to sharpen their reading comprehension skills, gain insight from others’ perspectives, and have a fun time reading an unforgettable book series. There are 5 more books in this series that your child will be sure to enjoy. **Learners will need a copy of the book Where Are You Going, Baby Lincoln? by Kate DiCamillo. **A PDF file of journal discussion activities will be attached to the classroom after our first meeting.

Kate DiCamillo is one of my favorite authors. When I taught in the classroom, I always used Kate DiCamillo’s books to read aloud to my students because she does a great job of helping readers to learn important life lessons and think deeply. I also have a Masters in Reading, and it is my goal to help your child think deeper about the texts that they read. It would be my pleasure to share this amazing book series with your child.
