Assembled here are books we have enjoyed reading aloud to our girls. As time permits I will add brief comments about each book. | |
 Henry
Hikes to Fitchburg by Donald B. Johnson (Illustrator). A charming re-telling
of the life of Henery David Thoreau. Emily loves this book! |

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling. The sequal to Sorcerer's Stone. If you've read Stone, you'll find your way to this volume. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling, Mary Grandpre (Illustrator). The third volume in the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) by J. K. Rowling, Mary Grandpre (Illustrator). We found this installment disappointing. What makes the first three books charming is that Harry prevails because of his wit, and the help of his friends. Harry gets too much help in this book for my taste. This book would have benefited from a rowdy edit. At half the heft, it would make a more engaging read. Maybe. Classics:
The 'Little House' series by Laura Engles Wielder All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. Great on video, too! Stewart Little by E.B. White Charlotte's Web by E.B. White |

 Snowmen
: Snow Creatures, Crafts, and Other Winter Projects by Frankie Frankeny
(Photographer), Peter Cole (Photographer), Leslie Jonath (Photographer),
franki Frankeny (Photographer). Ok, ok, what can I say, this book is full
of so many cool winter project ideas that you'll park yourself next to the
weather radio praying for snow ... in July! Get it, you'll love it! |
