We've been doing some reading this week! This week's preschool theme (M's homeschool work) is Jungle.
Eight Silly Monkeys. Similar to Five Little Monkeys, but with a twist! Very nice book. Brand new at our library; who doesn't love brand new books??? I've discvered that W loves rythme. This book holds his attention as does the nursery rhyme one (mostly the Itsy Bitsy Spider) but with his love of music and beat I should have expected that!
Betsy-Tacy and Tib. This is our "read-aloud"; we read chapter one last night before bed.
Rumble In The Jungle. A well used book from our library. A lovely poem about the animals in the jungle.
The New Baby Calf (again) We need to get more books by this illustrator (Barbara Reid) because the girls were quite intrigued by her plasticine pictures.
My Bedtime Book of Favorite Nursery Rhymes (again) I think I may have to get us a copy of this book! W loves loves loves it. Well, they all do. It's been well read and very very well treated!
Hug K can read this book. But I think there are a total of 10 different words in the whole book.
Doodle Dog in Space. I didn't read this one to them. I think CJ was looking at it at rest time one day.
My Truck Book (again) Another one I need to buy for W. He loves this book too.
Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories - Two Pockets Please. The girls loved this story. It's a story about a little boy who wore out his pants and in his bedtime prayer, prayed for a new pair of pants, with 2 pockets please. I love how short they are and that they get a lesson across quickly. The girls always want me to read more than one!
Totally Amazing Spiders - CJ, our resident bug person, was amazed at some of the pictures in this book. There is a lot of information and I don't often sit down and read these types of books to the girls but they love to look at the pictures and have me read the captions for the pictures.
Popcorn (again). This is just a fun halloween story!
My first ABC book. K told me one day that a book we had in our collection had 27 letters in the alphabet! I was very confused! So she went and got this book and counted and re-counted the letters at the beginning of the book. The first time she did get 27 but then she got the 26. This is a big book! The pictures are bright and colorful with a wide range of items for each letter.
Next week the preschool theme will be kittens, so I'm hoping our books come in to the library on time. I am moving on with The Hidden Art of Homemaking and The Five Love Languages of Children. I don't usually read two books at once, but I think I can handle these two. They are pretty light reading.
I hope you find some good reading here and if not at least are a little bit aware of what we are reading!
Just our thoughts on everything from weight to homeschooling to children to parenting to politics to midwifery to blog memes.
