Books we read, April 13th

Posted By Barbara On April 13, 2007 @ 9:37 pm In Books, Uncategorized | 1 Comment

In the morning, we read:

[1] Machines at Work by [2] [6] Byron Barton;
[3] Freight Trains by [4] Donald Crews; and
[5] My Car by [2] [6] Byron Barton.

I picked up the two books by Barton because they are not the sort of books that I would usually choose and I was trying to expose both of us to a new sort of book. We ended up with a book about dinosaurs one time for this same reason. This time, though, Reid really liked the books. My Car has a great ending because after the man tells us about his car at home and where he drives it, we learn (spoiler alert) that at work - he drives a bus.

At bedtime, we read:

[7] Feathers for Lunch by [8] Lois Ehlert, in which the jingles of the cat’s bell keep him from getting any of the birds that he tries for. All of the birds are shown life-size (except for the last two) and it made Reid think of the birds at Grandma Barb’s house; and
[9] Better Not Get Wet, Jesse Bear by [10] Nancy White Carlstrom; and
the day’s story from 365 Magical Stories.
