dymphna57 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth Speare. We all enjoyed the audiobook of Witch of Blackbird Pond and I start i would sneak in some summer Read Alouds as after all, we are still doing some..er school. Sorry, the movie was a great muscial but the books are an entire world. I think if you can't get them you never were a kid. I have dc who hate them too but they insist on the same color socks too!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tricia Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Little Women. My 5 younger daughters are eating it up too. And so am I. Such a treat to read it again after so many years. I'd almost forgotten how wonderful it is.:lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdeveson Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 His traveling 5 days out of 7 really gets in the way of our nightly read a loud time. Google chat/video conference. My husband travels a lot on business, but he rarely misses evening read-aloud. Instead of curling up on the couch with the cat and a good book, we gather around the computers (with a cat) and dad reads to us. Weird, but it works. I'm all for using all the high-tech in the world to keep my family traditional.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny from Tenny Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 We are reading Henty's In Freedom's Cause. It hasn't been easy reading, but it has been worth it - so far - a little more than half-way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulubelle Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Last week I finished From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler to my 5 year old and 6 year old boys. My husband just finished reading Runaway Ralph to them. Totally captivated and full of questions and suspense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The Railway Children by Nesbit is what I am reading to my older dd. She's already read it herself but loves Nesbit. I am also reading her The Brownies and Other Tales by Ewing which was mentioned in The House of Arden. Thieves of Ostia is what dh is reading to the older dd. The younger still gets picture books for read alouds. Yesterday was Walter the Farting Dog by Kotzwinkle, Snuggle Puppy by Boynton and Hedgie's Surprise by Brett. She also listens to her sister's books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fractalgal Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 This week we're reading Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo with my dd4. Last night I started having her draw pictures as I read and it was entertaining to see her ideas of the black dungeon and other things. :) We're reading D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths and A Child's Introduction to the Night Sky: The Story of the Stars, Planets, and Constellations. Both are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
