By now, you will be back at school, but that doesn't mean the reading fun has to stop! 

Kendall Daddo, an American mother, wrote part of a story on her child's lunch napkin each day.   Her daughter would open her lunchbox at school and all the children would gather around and listen to the latest instalment in the story.  I suppose it was a primitive form of blogging!  You can check out the napkin story on this link:
