Choose your favorite chapter book and create a "Pillow Pal" according to the following directions. Find an old (or new!) child sized T -shirt (preferably white) Using permanent markers, fabric paint, or paint pens, decorate your T-shirt to illustrate various story elements.

Decorate the T-shirt as follows: (See illustration at the top.) / Write your name on the front, around the neck / Write the title and author on the front and center ofthe shirt / Draw a picture of a main character on each sleeve. Use front and back sleeves if your book has a lot of main characters. / Choose two important events from the book. llustrate one on the front and one on the back of the shirt.
