Please listen to the book C.R. Mudgeon.

When you are done listening, I would like you to think about the title. The title is a play on words. I would like you to use the Britannica Kid's Dictionary and look up the word Curmudgeon. I simply added the letter "U" between the "C and the R" to make this word.

The dictionary definition is:

• cur*mud*geon noun \ kər-ˈməj-ən \

a grumpy and usually old man

Now think about the main character, C.R. Mudgeon, is he a curmudgeon? Why or why not?

What made C.R. Mudgeon unhappy with Paprika? Is Paprika a curmudgeon or is she full of life?

In a couple sentences, write how life for C.R. changes because of Paprika.

Have a great day! I miss you, Ms. Jordan
