Shape Four:  Write your evaluation of the book and write whether you would you recommend it to a friend.  Give specific reasons for your opinion.

Constructing Your Mobile

1. Cut a piece of cardboard into a 12 X 18 rectangle.  This will be the top of the mobile so it must be sturdier than regular weight paper.  Holding the board horizontally, colorfully decorate both sides of the board with a border, the title , author, and your name.
2. Using heavy string or yarn, not thread, attach the four shapes to the bottom of the board through the four holes, allowing the shapes to hang about four inches below the board.  Thread another piece of string or yarn through the two holes at the top for a hanger.
3. Attach the three additional shapes that go with shape 2 to the bottom of that shape.
