More books!

At this rate, I think we will be way past 100 library books for the year!

Hankie alert - The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a Holocaust story, written from the perspective of a naive German boy. I cried, then I watched the movie, and I cried again.

And now I am reading Jerusalem: One City, Three Faiths by Karen Armstrong. It's a very detailed, but fascinating, history of Jerusalem.

For our homeschooling:
1. Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans
2. Lord of the Cranes by Kerstin Chen
3. Los Tres Cerditos by Merce Escardo i Bas
4. Soy Demasiado Grande by Lone Morton & Rosa Martin


For Hypatia's bedtime stories:
1. The Magic Nesting Doll by Jacqueline K. Ogburn (beautiful illustrations, and an interesting Russian fairy tale I was unfamiliar with)
2. Poppleton Has Fun by Mark Teague
3. The Boxer and the Princess by Helme Heine (a parable, rather obvious and heavy handed I thought)
4. All Night Near the Water by Jim Arnosky
5. Two Bad Ants by Chris Van Allsburg (the change in scale to see life from an ant's perspective was fun)
6. Nate the Great: San Francisco Detective by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat
7. Let's Do Nothing by Tony Fucile (cute and very fun)
8. Never Smile at a Monkey by Steve Jenkins

Audiobooks in the car:
Little House on the Prairie , which we all loved but I had some trouble with the issues around the Native Americans being too scary for the kids and not really developmentally appropriate for Hypatia. We had to pause during the prairie fire bit, because she started crying "I don't want to die". Goodness.
The Spiderwick Chronicles: Books 1-5. A bit spooky, actually. Carbon has been sleeping with a wooden "club" under his pillow for the last two nights in a row. Goodness again!

That makes 15 more library books, + 28 from earlier this month = 43
