What My Child is Reading this week:
FOR SCHOOL:
We Can Read About Nature: An Arctic Year by Catherine Nichols
Desert Animals (Benchmark Rebus (Animals in the Wild)) by Sharon Gordon
C has a Raccoon Habitat Diorama he has to do for his Science Class that is due this upcoming week, hence all the Raccoon Books.
FOR FUN:
Hamlet was a random library pick. I left the two boys to look at some books in the children's section, while I scanned the bookshelves for my specific finds (they were in eyes view), I came back to Z having a HUGE stack of books on the floor that he had taken from the shelf. I went through the pile and just grabbed two, totally judging the books by their covers and titles because I didn't put much if any other thought into it. This one seemed to be a winner because it had a kite (my kids LOVE kites) and it was a Chinese dragon kite (my kids study Chinese). I came home from running errands one day to find Q reading them the book, he asked if I had picked it particularly, and I told him the story. Well turns out that Hamlet's friend in the book shares my husband's name...which is not a very common name by any means...the kids though it was so neat, and now the book has been read billions of times during the 1-2wk time frame we have had it! It's a cute story too! (double bonus!)
