Well, crumbs. I started reorganizing things this evening in preparation for the very swiftly up-and-coming school year, when I realized I had not updated the kids’ read-aloud list in about two weeks. I bet they at least reached 75 titles. Most of our read-aloud time was spent re-reading old and new favorites, and our read-aloud times are far from over. The new academic year brings titles and assignments of its own, and there will always be a book to be read. 🙂
51. Icky Bug Alphabet Book
52. Little Grunt and the Big Egg by Tomie DiPaola
53. Charlie Needs a Cloak! by Tomie diPaola
54. I Can Teach My Dog 100 Words
55. We Help Daddy (Little Golden Book)
56. The Umbrella by Jan Brett
57. Time for the Fair
58. Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff
59. Comet’s Nine Lives by Jan Brett
60. Strega Nona by Tomie diPaola
61. The County Fair by Tasha Tudor
62. Pumpkin Moonshine by Tasha Tudor
63. Patrick, Patron Saint of Ireland by Tomie diPaola
64. The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie diPaola
65. The Sun Egg by Elsa Beskow
66. Bread and Jam for Frances
67. Fritz and the Beautiful Horses by Jan Brett
68. Daisy Comes Home by Jan Brett
69. Francis, the Poor Man of Assisi by Tomie di Paola
70. The story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
71. Armadillo Rodeo by Jan Brett
And as I said, there were days we read different titles and forgot to write them on the list. Still, 70 titles in a summer is nothing to sneer at. 🙂
The sewing continues slowly. I’m pretty tired these days and haven’t been able to sit at the sewing machine, although I did get a start on the Carina Gardner ruffled dress. With any luck it will be finished in time for a daughter to wear to her sister’s Baptism!
So there we have it. I’m going to sleep now. Good night!
