Activities for Dear Mr. Henshaw
by
Beverly Cleary
In his letters to his favorite
author, Mr. Henshaw, a boy named Leigh Botts, who's ten years
old, helps you understand what he feels when he has to deal
with his parents divorce, missing his dad who doesn't live
with him anymore, being the new kid in a new school, and
adjusting to all the changes taking place in his life.
This heartwarming book is written as a series of
letters, or journal entries, instead of the usual way a book
is arranged. As you read through the book, you will see how
Leigh grows up, deals with school problems, and learns how
much his dad loves him.
The activities below will help
you work through the book. Since the book does not have any
chapters, I've divided the book into three parts.
Part 1 pgs. 1 - 37
Part 2 pgs. 39 - 107
Part
3 pgs. 108 - 134
Happy Reading!
