Mousetrounaunt Book Talk
Mrs. Ashley Pagan
• This book applies to both our
everyday lives. Think about what
the real life application that is being
stated in this book…
• Real Life Applications
• Don’t judge a book by it’s
cover
• Take the time to find the
solution to the problem
• Dream of going into space
• Dropped Key Issue
• Use your
“weaknesses seen by
others” as your
strengths
• Success is achieved by developing
our strengths, not by eliminating
our weaknesses.
