Page Two - List the main problem and how it was solved.

Hello out there! I know it's been a LONG time since I've posted but man has it been a busy month!!! My daughter has a book report due on 2/4 and the theme was that it had to be a popup book based on a Newberry Award Winner. She chose Charlotte's Web. Such a lovely book and that one sentence at the end of the second or third to last chapter ALWAYS makes me cry! Sooo ... we happily worked on it today and it came out so cute that I wanted to share it with you all (SUCH A PROUD MOM MOMENT!) :P She had to use the two page format so it's not all that long. (Okay, I helped on the wood pieces on the inside ... shhh. Oh, and the lettering for the title on the front ... but that's it!) LOL.
