Trick...or Book!
What if you went trick or treating for books? Instead of a treat, a book gets dropped into your bag. This could be an interesting classroom exercise.
List what books you'd hope to get. Sometimes, the person holding the bowl of candy lets you choose your own. Your hand hovers . . . Mars Bar or Hershey Bar?
Similarly, what if your have to choose between two books? For me, these might be Iron-H Read more of this blog post »

"I see a wing," Cerinthe said. "No - maybe a fin?"
Old Skolla squinted. "At first a skylark seemed waiting in the wood. SO my knife carved, seeking that shape. But soon a different shape called to me, a dolphin - and after all that work on the skylark." He clicked his tongue. "To seek the new shape, Old Skolla had to let the old one go."

"Aye, it would have been a good skylark, that's certain," he said. "But if the skylark stays, the dolphin's lost - or never found. So which would you rather? A good skylark forced upon the wood or a dolphin that sings out from the soul of the grain?”
