Discussion Questions
Use our LitLovers Book Club Resources; they can help with discussions for any book:

• Generic Discussion Questions—Fiction and Nonfiction
• Read-Think-Talk (a guided reading chart)
Also consider these LitLovers talking points to help get a discussion started for Fifty Acres and a Poodle:
1. Is this a cautionary tale of "be careful what you wish for"? Or is it a "follow-your-bliss" tale?
2. Does Laskas really retreat to the country, given all her modern communications hook-ups?
3. What insights does Laskas gain from her experiences in the country?
4. Reviews of this book are mixed—some love it, find it funny, while others find it hackneyed and its humor clunky. Which side do you fall on?
