Flurry the Bear & the Christmas wish
J. S. Skye
- Reading
- Try the opening together, then pause when Flurry receives his assignment. Ask what he might expect from it, and revisit that guess after he reaches the new land.
- Themes
- Getting into trouble: Flurry has a knack for finding trouble, so Christopher Kringle gives him a special assignment. The outline establishes mischief and an assignment, but not whether Flurry's behaviour or the response to it is praised, criticised or treated as a lesson.
- A new family and friends: After a series of events, Flurry finds himself in a new land with a new family and friends. The change in Flurry's circumstances is clear, but the outline does not say how the transition happens or how it is portrayed.
- Worth knowing
- Flurry is said to find trouble, and Christopher Kringle gives him an assignment to keep him out of it. What the trouble involves, and how serious it is, remains unclear.
