The Unbudgeable Curmudgeon

by Matthew Burgess

I stumbled upon this book this weekend and I’ve already read it to my favourite five-year-old. When I finished the last page, she immediately turned back to the first page and said, “Can we read the whole thing again?” It captivated her. The words, the pictures.

After reading this with a class, I would take the time to explore word choice and especially the many words with the short vowel ‘u’.
