Once 6 people crashed on an island.  They stayed there and made a living.  They saw every animal on the island.  They even ate some of the animals, shot a shark, shot a snake, did fun things, and had a lot of bad times!

     Once they met a girl.  Fritz wanted to marry her!  One day a ship came and stayed there 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days!  Emily wanted to go back with them so Fritz and Francis left with Emily.  The mom, dad, Jack, and Ernest stayed at the island.

     The End!  Oh man!

During Thanksgiving break we borrowed two versions of Heidi from the library. Sounds crazy but I love the Shirley Temple version and wanted to see the version with Jane Seymour as the housekeeper for Clara's family. It was fun to watch the movies and look for differences between them and the book.
