What my Child is Reading

 

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!)
