DISCUSSION
QUESTIONS
1. When Opal named her dog,
Winn-Dixie, it was the first thing that popped into her
head. If you have a pet, how did you decide on a name?
What is the name of your pet?
2. Opal asks her father for ten
things about her mother. What would you list as ten
good things about the library? How about ten good
things about North Reading?
3. What is Winn-Dixie afraid
of? Are you afraid of anything special? How do
you manage your fear?
4. Miss Fanny's father made
Litmus Lozenges. What do you think a Litmus Lozenge
looks like? How does it taste?
