Die-o-Rama

“But as Mr. Ocax sailed deep into Dimwood toward his secret lair, he vowed to avenge himself. If mice began to get notions that they could escape him, there would be no end of trouble.”

from Poppy, by Avi


Took a field trip today to a local natural history museum. Fun was had by all. As we entered one student said, "This is making my mind go kaboom,  but in a good way!" 

This diorama reminded me of the children's book Poppy, which opens with a very memorable scene of a mouse being eaten by an owl while his friend is hiding nearby.
