What do we have in our library bag this week?

Little House in the Big Woods--this has been so much fun to read to my girls.

Click Clack Moo Cows that Type & Giggle, Giggle, Quack--both by Dorren Cronin were a real favorite around here.  So funny.

The X-Ray Picture Book of Big Building of the Ancient World--Good but a little over my girl's heads right now.

The Greek Hoplite by Martin Windrow--haven't looked at it yet.

We just finished up D'Aulaire's Columbus (a bit boring) and are reading Pocahontas now.

So we are starting to study Native Americans.  Starting with:

A New True Book series:

Native Americans

The Penobscot (did you know that the Cleveland Indians were named such in honor of Louis Sockalexis who played for them when they were the Spiders?)

The Delaware

The Powhatan People by Kim covert

The Deleware People by Allison Lassieur

Powhatan Indians by Suzanne Morgan Williams

Pocahontas:  Peacemaker and Friend to the Colonists

The True Story of Pocahontas

Owl Eyes by Frieda Gates & Yoshi Miyake (a Mohawk Tale)

The Legend of the Cranberry:  A Paleo-Indian Tale by Ellin Greene (Deleware Tale)

Pocahontas has been a hit! 

D'Aulaire's book of Norse Myths--haven't read any yet but the library finally got it in & I thought we should read a few to go with our norse studies.

Ling-Li and the Phoenix Fairy:  A Chinese Folktale by Ellin Greene--This book was a nice engaging tale & I have a weakness for Japanse & Chinese Folk stories

Always Copycub and Copy me, Copycub by Richard Edwards

Furry by Holly Kelley--about getting a pet for a girl who is allergic to most pets.
