Summer Reading
2010 July 8
I don’t know about you, but our summers are filled with trips to the library. We LOVE library day.
Here’s what’s been filling our bag the past few visits:
Where’s Waldo?, Look and Find books
First Thesaurus , Richard Scarry , and these Alphabet Books
Anything by Robert McCloskey
Just to name a few. What’s in your library bag?
Does Josiah always hide out in laundry baskets? Fun!
The library is feast or famine with us. We go through spells where we practically live at the library, then we have periods of buying books, or loan some from friends.
The reading is constant here, but the source is ever changing.
If I would go to the library more, I wouldn’t need so many bookcases around here! My house is starting to look like a library…and I LOVE THAT.
We have recently read (to the kids) Alice in Wonderland, and Frankenstein.
I am reading The Time Traveler’s Wife. My hubby just finished the last Harry Potter.
My kids ADORE The Boxcar Children. They “play” boxcar children. It’s cute.
Despite having no children or grandchildren my last trip to the library netted me three Doctor Seuss books – The Butter Battle Book,McElligot’s Pool and Daisy-Head Mayzie. Vacationing last week in Rhode Island I saw the Butter Battle Book at a diner we ate in, and it looked so interesting and not a title I remembered.
It’s amazing what you can find at the library!
Aunt Deb! I’ve never heard of The BB Book. We’ll have to investigate. We do love Daisy-Head Mayzie. It’s just hard to beat Dr. Seuss!
Berenstain Bear, Little House picture books, and books with read-a-long cds. Zane loves to sit in his chair in his room by himself listening to a book on cd and following along.
