Fun with Books


Last Monday, for FHE, we went to the local library. We read books with Beemer for about a half hour, then she picked out some for us to take home. She grabbed Frog and Toad are Friends and Pizza Fun. Pulcheria has liked Toad and Frog for a long time. I don’t remember reading it, but am a fan, now. Superb beginning reader. We were both skeptical, however, about the pizza book, and tried to talk her out of it, seeing as how it didn't have what we perceived as "staying power."

That silly pizza book has also proven a surprising find. Not only were we pleased to find that Beemer continues to look at its pages, but we actually tried a couple of the recipes today. Delicious looking tigers ensued (as you can tell from Bree's territorial roar, below)!

The best part for me was that the pizza weren't just fun to make, but tasted great - not something I have experienced often with homemade pizza! Praises to Beemer!

Mayflower brought home a book from the school library last week. "Christmas Recipes From Around the World". It looks about 50 years old. All the pictures in it are pencil sketches. She loves reading the recipes and stories, but we have yet to find something that sounds pallatable. Maybe we'll take it back and find the Pizza Book...:)

And I love Frog and Toad, too!
