  • Dora and Diego
  • Tinkerbell
  • Amelia Bedelia
  • Annie from the Magic Tree House series

We also were lucky enough to have guests from a wide range of Dr. Seuss books like

  • Max from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
  • The main character from Wacky Wednesday, and 
  • Fox in Socks
We had a great day of reading and sharing our favorite books.  Kindergartners also LOVED seeing the other "substitutes" around the school, and the famous book characters in all grades!  Check out the Glenwood facebook page for some great candid shots of both Fancy Nancy, The Number Devil, Merida, and many more famous book characters!
