Weekly book shelf 12/9

Reading to himself:

This is another classic that probably needs no introduction, other than to say that it differs in many areas from the movie, and is in fact much, much better. This is a re-read for Calvin. I read the entire series (14 original books) aloud to him last year and he still loves it.

 


Reading aloud: 

(continued) Ester discovers an 11,000 year old artifact that becomes a porthole, sending her back to the time when that artifact, a spearhead, was used. Ultimately she learns a respect for the artifacts and history left from which we can learn about those who came before. Calvin and I are both enjoying this book.
