Guys Read "The Invention of Hugo Cabret "

Mrs. Ringquist, art teacher at West Woods Upper Elementary School was our surprise guest at our last Guys Read Book group. Mrs. Ringquist shared with the boys the chair she sculpted based on the book "The Invention of Hugo Cabret".

Mrs. Ringquist chose this book because she loves to get boys excited about reading. This book with lots of illustrations and adventure was the perfect pick.
