We are senior Early Childhood Development Education majors at the University of Delaware in Newark, DE. In our reading and writing class, we are reading Lemony Snicket's, The Bad Beginning. Neither of us knew what to expect before reading this book. We like reading happy books, but this unhappy book has turned out to be really exciting! Over the summer we hope to read more books in this series.

Our acrostic poems about The Bad Beginning
Olaf is trying to steal their fortune
Remembers the love of their late parents
Prefers to live with Justice Strauss
Horrible events happen to these children
Afraid of Count Olaf's eyes around the house
Nervous around the man who has a hook for a hand
Sunny, Violet, and Klaus are siblings
By Lauren N
Small and feisty with only four, sharp teeth
Under a pile of curtains is where she slept each night
Never gave up thinking that her siblings would rescue her
Needs no toys, only something to bite
Youngest of the unfortunate Baudelaire orphans
By Kelley G
