Mog comes to Visit

Emily's first grade class adopted a furry cat named Mog.  The original Mog, a forgetful cat who constantly gets in trouble, lived in the UK and her loving owner writes books about her adventures.  Emily's teacher owns all the books, but since they must stay in the classroom, Emily checked several out from the library. (Aunt Jenny would be proud.)  Each night, one student brings Mog home.  Our night finally came last Thursday.



Emily wrote about how Mog rode with her to the Fieldhouse in Mog's Journal.


At the end of the night she explained how Enno gets to take Mog on Friday.  He must play and sleep with Mog all weekend. Enno's twin brother Finn, also in Emily's class,  gets Mog on Monday night.  They are SO lucky.  They get to look at Mog for THREE nights.

Most books Emily brings home from school are written by British authors.  I love the slightly different spellings and expressions - "Mum" and "Oh bother"  In some cases,  I must look up words.  Anyone know what a "spanner" is?

    In the newest J.K. Rowling (the mystery she wrote under a pseudonym), there is a character with the nickname Spanner. He's a computer guy who hacks in for the private eye. Does that help at all?

    Thanks Jen! Great to hear from you. I just looked it up. Apparently,in North America a spanner is called a wrench.
