THE NEST
Janice Barbour Moss
Illustrated by Brenda L. McMorland
How about getting together with your friends and taking an imaginary trip to Australia? Visit Herman’s cozy den where Jayce and Ozzie have come to live. There’s bound to be fun and laughter as you explore their world. Just don’t sit in the green leather recliner. That’s for Herman!
- Can you list some of the colours described in the book? Discuss what you think the significance of them is.
- Which is your favourite illustration? What does it represent to you and why?
- Which character in The Nest is most memorable to you? Are they funny, serious, quirky, or all three? Or, what makes them unique?
- Do you think Jayce wanted to move from Ottawa to Alice Springs? Do you think she wants to stay? Why?
- What did you learn about having pet birds? What is the most important lesson to keep in mind?
- Which characters change in the story, from beginning to the end? How were they helped and by whom?
