Weekly book shelf, 5/21


Here's some of what Calvin was reading by himself this week:.

 

Jon and I read a number of picture books with Calvin this week, too. Bird, Butterfly, Eel is one of our favorites. It's a year-in-the-life story of the eponymous animals, following their life and travels from their summer homes in New England to their winter homes, in three different locations, and back. It's an endearing story, completely devoid of anthropomorphism, accompanied by beautiful illustrations. Calvin loves it.

 

And we finished Glinda of Oz, but are still reading our way through the Aeneid.

On my bookshelf this week... in fiction I just finished Shogun, by James Clavell. My copy of Beasts in the Garden arrived so that's my new non-fiction, but I haven't picked my next fiction yet.

Bird, Butterfly, Eel sound like something my daughter might enjoy. Thanks for joining WMCIR!
