“Going to the library” is something I’ve been doing for my kids, but today I realized how much I am enjoying it myself! Today I found three books I’ve been wanting to read, and I had about 20 minutes to quietly read to myself today at the library while my youngest son crawled around, exploring, and the other two played on the computer.
Honey for a Child’s Heart, by Gladys Hunt. I’ve browsed this one before, thanks to Ashleigh, but am enjoying it again. Advice on books for different ages, and a strong emphasis on reading aloud as a family.
The Read-Aloud Handbook, by Jim Trelease. I’ve been convinced of the importance of reading aloud to children of all ages for years now, but if you’re not convinced, just read the introduction to this book!
Pocketful of Pinecones, by Karen Andreola. Following Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophy, a how-to of nature study. Very good read so far.
