📚✨ One School, One Book – The Royal Breakfast! ✨📚

Kennedy families — it’s time for Chapter 20: The Royal Breakfast! 👑🥐

Things get very proper (and maybe just a little improper!) as the BFG experiences a royal breakfast at the palace. Table manners, fancy foods, and one very unforgettable giant make this chapter extra fun!

🎥 Be sure to watch the video posted here of Mrs. Edwards reading the BFG’s special letter — it’s the perfect lead-in to tonight’s chapter!

💬 Family Engagement Questions:

How do you think the BFG felt being in the palace?

What would be the hardest royal rule to follow at breakfast?

If the BFG came to your house for breakfast, what would you serve him?

What does this chapter show about how the Queen treats someone who is different?

We love seeing our Kennedy Patriots reading together at home. Keep those tickets coming and enjoy tonight’s royal adventure! 💙👑📖
