I've put together this unit plan for Bud, Not Buddy and compiled a critical thinking packet. Hope it can help someone else out!

I am debating between reading Tale of Desperaux or Bud, Not Buddy as my next novel. I was leaning toward Desperaux only because I have a literature study packet that goes with it, but now, I may do Bud. I love the book and you have done a lot of work putting this together.

You don't by chance have any vocabulary to go along with each chapter? My kids have a very limited vocab and I find there are many words they do not know the meaning to. So, I like to do vocab with each novel we read. Maybe, I should start re-reading and I could put together a vocab list to add to your work.

Thank you!

I downloaded and stole your idea an hour ago

but forgot to come back and tell you how wonderful this is.

Thank you so much for posting it!

Thanks for sharing. I also created a comprehension packet with vocabulary for Bud, Not Buddy. It is created to be cut out and glued into a notebook (which explains the dotted lines). Here is a link to my resource:

Thank you for sharing. I used Bud, Not Buddy last year as a read aloud and loved it. It was the first time I had ever read it. I will use it again this year.

Thank you so much! It is so nice of you to post this, because I know it is a lot of work. You did a great job. I just love that book.

It looks great. I don't teach fourth, but will be showing it to the teacher who does. I think she uses this book, too. Thanks for sharing!

I love your unit!!! You did a fantastic job! I teach 1st grade, but still felt compelled to save your lesson just in case I ever teach older grades again.

Thanks again! This is awesome!

Thanks so much. I am in the middle of reading this to my 4th graders, and they are loving it.

It is so generous of you to share! Your work is awesome. I have a group reading Bud, Not Buddy right now! Another group is reading My Brother Sam is Dead. You don't happen to have a critical thinking packet for that novel do you?

Thanks again!!
