As I mentioned before, because of our recent move, my reading really took a hit. The books I did read this last month were ones that I read with my kids. Two of them were actually audiobooks we listened to during the cross country drive.
All three of the books that I will be covering today were ones that I have read before.
Oh, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. I discovered this book when I was briefly homeschooling Sidda. And what a joy it turned out to be! Recently Anya pulled this off the bookshelf and asked me to read it with her. That is why it is on my list for this month.
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books are perfect for young children who are beginning to read but could still use assistance while they do so. We read through this book together, laughing at all Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's cures for the childhood maladies that many of the children struggled with, (like not wanting to clean their rooms, or eat their dinner) making this a very enjoyable easy book to read. Highly recommended.
I remember the first time I picked up The Lightning Theif. We were in California, taking Sidda to the zoo for her 4th birthday and I was looking for an easy fun book to read. I saw this on a table in a bookstore, I picked it up and the rest is history.
This is one of those books that really cemented my children's love of reading. This time, reading it was listening to the audiobook while we were driving. The adventures of Percy and his friends while trying to prove that he did not steal Zeus' lighting bolt are a joy to read. In fact, Percy's story gets better and better with each book. It is a series worth jumping into. This is a family favorite.
This is the second book in the Percy Jackson series. We also listened to this one on our drive.
I'm hoping this next month, with us beginning to settle down, I will be able to read a little more.
