Aug. 1st, 2010 07:55 pm114. The End of the Beginning by Avi
I was perusing the Awards Wall in the children's section of the library and grabbed a few newer books looking for something to read to the kids. I've got lots of classics at home, but I'm not up on the newer stuff. This is one of the ones I grabbed. Its a cute book. The subtitle is "Being the adventures of a small snail (and an even smaller ant)" Its about a book loving snail who wants an adventure. An adventure ensues.
115. Wild Things: The art of nurturing boys by Stephen James and David Thomas
Another raising boys book by a couple of Christians who are not only parents of young boys, but are counselors. The authors applies the Christian message very gently, unlike the last raising boys book I read. Like the last one, I disagree on their views of sex and masturbation, but they do handle homosexuality quite well. Enough about the complaints. This is a good book. Breaks down the life of a growing boy into stages and describes the physical, neurophysical, emotional, and character development. They give lots of references to other books for more information. And one of the best things is they take a chapter and talk about the relationship with each parent at each stage and how to help that parent nurture their boy through that stage. Awesome. I might get this book as I think I will want to read it every once in awhile and I forget about books that aren't on my shelf.
116. Her Seven Sisters by Paul Goble
While perusing the Folk and Fairytale section in the library I stumbled across a section of Native American folklore books. Knowing that is a subject covered in Grade 3, I brought them home to see if they were any good and to make notes of any I might like Ike to read. I brought four by Paul Goble home. They are all wonderful. The artwork is excellent, the stories beautiful. This one is about a young girl who goes off to find her 7 brothers and how they eventually became the stars of the Big Dipper. I like this one because I can pull it in when we do an astronomy block in future years. Waldorf is all about layering.
