Petu Pumpkin: Tooth Troubles

January 1, 2025 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Another edition of my book club, another hOle book! We’ve read nineteen so far, and I’m running out of ones I think my book clubbers will enjoy! I read Petu Pumpkin: Tooth Troubles four years ago. It is fun and light, and we’ll have fun with it, especially as it’s the first book we will read next month.

Book Cover

What’s happening in the cover image? Before we start reading, we’ll talk about the book cover and try to imagine what the boys are doing. We’ll take this one step further and write about the emotions the children are likely to feel too.

The Gap Club

I love the idea of the Gap Club! As a child (and a devourer of books about clubs), I set up multiple clubs with various different agendas. If you could set up a club, what would the club be called? What would your mission statement be? Can you design a logo for the club?

Letters

Pushkin’s correct, very polite letters to the tooth fairy are hilarious! At my book club, we’ll write letters to the tooth fairy too, and perhaps we can write replies as well!

Join a programme!

I’ve been running this book club for ages seven and eight for over four years now! Two of those who joined all those years ago are now eleven and are part of my writing programme. It’s heart-warming!

Registrations are now closed for the February-March 2025 edition of my book club. New batches begin every alternate month. Join my mailing list if you would like to receive email notifications about my programmes. Alternatively, follow me on social media – Facebook and Instagram – for regular updates.
