Miss Hickory | Carolyn Sherwin Bailey
6 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Miss Hickory is very worried. Her owner has moved to Boston, and how can Miss Hickory survive a harsh New Hampshire winter all alone? After all, she is just a doll whose body is an apple-wood twig and whose head is a hickory nut, and whose house is made out of corncobs.

So, I used to love this book as a kid, and I wanted to re-read it because I honestly couldn't remember anything about it. Mostly, this is a super whimsical read, but boy, did that ending get dark 😳🤣 I still loved it, but did not see that last bit coming haha!

Another book done for #bookspinbingo 🥳 @TheAromaofBooks

“...Miss Hickory has difficulty in turning her head. It was a hickory nut that had grown with an especially sharp and pointed nose.”

This book teaches children the importance of being selfless as Miss Hickory was definitely the opposite!

Miss Hickory by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, 1946. This chapter book is one children will not forget. I remember this book vividly as the author takes us on the journey of a nature made doll, Miss Hickory encounters without her owner Ann. In this book, we learn about Miss Hickory through all of the animals she encounters!

Miss Hickory is a fantasy fiction chapter book that won the gold John Newberry Medal. This book is about a doll named Miss Hickory who has an owner named Ann who left New Hampshire to go to school in Boston. Miss Hickory doesn‘t believe that Ann has really left her behind so Miss Hickory continues with her daily life cleaning house, until she becomes homeless and talking to and about the animals. #ucflae3414su19

DeannaP For the activity the students would practice giving human qualities to things found in nature by doing this we are doing the ESOL strategy “integrating speaking, listening, reading and writing activities”. We would also “support planning and strategy development” (E.D strategy) by talking and planning what object in nature we would describe and what human qualities it may have. http://nancypolette.com/LitGuidesText/misshickory.htm 5y
DrSpalding Do you mean modern fantasy? Remember that you were to use the genres from the guide in class. These are important. They are universal genres that educators need to know. 5y
