Brief Discription: Ok so this book has continued with Ida B's wacky ways but different now she has told a little bit of a story from when she first went to kindergarden. It tells how she ever started getting homschooled. It explains part of her life to me. But unfortunatly her mother has started getting cancer I about cried when I found that out.

Q#1: What in the book upsets you or bothers you? Why?
A#1: Well there is a part that made me very sad is when Ida B's mom got cancer all of a sudden. It made me really sad because I sort of made a connection to Ida and I just could like imgine how sad I would be if I found out one of my family member's had cancer. Plus Ida B even asked her mom "Mommy are you going to die" and I just got soo sad from that one sentance.
Q#2: What was one of your favorite lines (or sentences) in what you read today?
A#2: "I stayed home and I learned and I had more fun then a kitten with twenty balls of yarn and three pretend mice". That was my sentance I liked how she related it to the kittens and they yarn because I can see that she was really happy. Because I know how my cat is when she gets around yarn and fake mice. This sentance was related to how happy she was to be homschooled.
