Weekly book shelf 1/6/12

Happy new year! We are still only slowly waking up from the holiday hibernation period—that time period when we tuck ourselves away from the daily grind to pursue celebratory delights and warmly fuzzy hobbies. We'll slowly stretch and get back on schedule, but it might take a while. Bears don't wake fully, ready to go all in a day, do they? And if they do, they're probably pretty grouchy about it.

Reading to himself:

This is a book that I picked up at a library book sale at some point. It sat on our shelf unnoticed for quite some time, probably because the kid wasn't quite ready to read it yet, but this week I found him sitting on the couch just eating it up. It's an abridged, but not murdered, version of the story with great 1950s color illustrations. This exact version may be out of print.

 

No other notes for right now, not because we aren't reading, but because we are doing a lot of re-reading or skimming through old favorites that we find on our shelves while we try to find our routine.
