More Library Additions

As they say, when it rains, it pours! That has definitely happened to our home library lately. Some children were given gift cards for birthdays and special occasions, which they finally put to use {having an inability to decide what titles they wanted with any expediency}. Some mommies found things on PaperBackSwap. And some books were found at the best used bookstore ever.

Our New Favorites

These titles are very big hits!

Everything Else

These are good stuff, also.

One of my girls still will not pick up many “real” books on her own, so I find I have need of more easy readers than I used to own. Arnold Lobel is, of course, a good author for that level of reading. The sure test of this is that I would never mind reading his works aloud over and over, if my four-year-old demanded that of me. The Frances books are also big helps. I saw a huge stack of them at the store for about fifty cents each. Now that I know the girls like them, I think I’ll take a few dollars down there and buy the whole stack!

Any new books in your library?

*Note: In Comus, the water nymphs are somewhat scantily clad. This does not bother me, but if it bothers you, then consider this note fair warning. Personally, I am thrilled that someone bothered to make a children’s version of Milton’s famous play. It is excellent.
