Weekly book shelf 1/13

Happy Friday the thirteenth!

Reading to himself:

This is another book that I bought at a used book shop. It has a beautiful, heavy feel to it, and is sprinkled with eerily pretty illustrations. Calvin has read and reread it several times this week.

Reading together:

We've been reviewing some human evolution,s o we're revisiting the A Day With series by Fiorenzo Facchini (Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Neanderthal Man, and Homo sapiens). It's out of print, but I still highly recommend this series if you can find it. Many times when copies become available they're pretty high priced, so I just kept stalking ebay and Amazon until I found them, one at a time, offered by more reasonable sellers. I got all four at prices between $12 and $18 each, and I'm very glad to have them all on our shelves.
