The Muppets Challenge will go for two months, March 1 � April 30. Pick your favorite Muppet (I love the Muppets!) and use the acronym of their name as a guide for reading.

You can use the book title, author, or series name.

If you need help coming up with a Muppet name, here is a complete list (who knew there were so many?!?):




Challenge Levels:
1-4 books: Easy
5-8 books: Medium
9-12 books: Difficult

(You can use books you are reading for another challenge as well)

You can pick your books now, but do not begin reading until March 1st!
