Favorites For This Week

Brody has rediscovered Goodnight Moon. We have been reading multiple times every night this past week or so. What is it about this book that kids love? What is it that I love about this book? I could (and do) read this over and over again. I think we need a new copy of this. Ours is getting a little shabby.

The Babe & I is a book that Collin picked at the library. I let the boys pick whatever books they want for bedtime stories, and you just never know what you are going to get. This book was completely different than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be some fairy tale book about watching a Babe Ruth baseball game, but it was showing the hard times a family went through during the Depression and how the family pulled together to make ends meet. It talked about pride and hard work. Collin really enjoyed it too. Probably because the little boy in the book was able to sell newspapers, and that would be a dream job for him right now. He is my little entrepreneur.

And then of course our beloved, Percy Jackson. We are about 5 chapters into the second book. We can't get enough!
