Discovery Questions

  • Milo came to realize that he didn’t know very much about a lot of things. What subject do you wish you knew more about? Have a parent help you. Research it. Keep a journal of what you learn.
  • Milo learns that many things are possible as long as you don’t know they are impossible. Think of another story where someone attempts to achieve the impossible. Use a Venn diagram. How are they like Milo? How are they different? Share your diagram with a parent.
  • Tock says that time is our most valuable possession – more precious than diamonds. Do you agree with this? Why? Talk about it with a parent.
  • In this book, ideas take the form of people, or monsters. Pick an idea, or something you are afraid of, and draw it. Write a story about your monster. Share it with a parent.
