Week Four - Magician Extraordinaire

In The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Hugo was fascinated by the way the old man manipulated playing cards. The old man could fan them and make them dance. I am really looking forward to seeing how Craig Davis, an extraordinary magician makes those playing cards dance, and I'm looking forward to learning a magic trick or two.

Old Time Movie

Watch a copy of "The Clock Shop" the cartoon Hugo and Isabelle see at the movie theatre at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bAP0sXd6Yg

Or view a clip from Le Million by Rene Clair the movie Hugo and Isabelle watched at the movie theatre. The lottery ticket is in the opera singer's jacket pocket...who will get it? Yes, female opera singers used to be that large, and they were playing the part of the beautiful heroine.

this book is really neet!

this book is really cool! one of the main reasons I like the book is because the author is so
imaginative!

Hugo Cabret is pretty interesting. I'd say my opinion of what I think about the book, but I already READ it in a few days. I also think we should read more of it at one time because we are basically done with the paper automatons. I think we should read three or four dhapters a day!

More praise for Hugo Cabret!

This book is still good even though I've read this before! The book club makes it even more interesting, and there's lots of fun stuff to do! This book ROCKS!!!!

Week two

We allmost finished an automaton dog that nods his head this week, and in a few weeks a magician will come and teach us tricks in class!

hugo cabret rocks!!!!!!!

Hugo Cabret Rocks!!! It's easy to read, and more than half of the pages have pictures!
It's one of the best books I've ever read!

Hugo Cabret is very interesting......

Hugo Cabret is a very interesting book, even if it's mostly in pictures. The pictures explain the parts, although you don't always find the EXACT words of the author. even though I've already read the book, it's still pretty interesting.

Welcome

Welcome to the Hugo Cabret program at the North Valley Regional Library. For the next 8 weeks we'll be discovering this amazing book.
