11. Muggie Maggie [chapter]

By: Beverly Cleary
Illustration by: Tracy Dockray
Genre: Children's Chapter book
Subgenre: Child's realistic fiction
Theme: Learning cursive
Primary characters: Maggie
Awards: N/A
Date of Publication: 1990
Publishing Company: HarperCollins
Summary: Maggie expresses her new hatred towards learning cursive when her teacher says her cursive "Maggie" looks like "Muggie". She is not excited at all to learn this new form of writing. The teacher soon makes her deliver mail that is written in cursive and Maggie thinks it's notes written about her that she can't read. She soon learns to write cursive. Very cute book. Beverly Cleary is an all time classic. Kids can really relate to these books and I would love for the class to read this.
