January's Favorite Books

We read a lot in our home. We are the people at the library that take easily 10 mins checking out not because my littles are running everywhere or I lost my keys, well ok. We have had at least one of thoughts days. Really it's because we have that many books and Little Miss like to help check them all out. We read the titles, talk about what they might be about or simply comment about the cover illustration.

The last half of January we had SNOW! It was glorious.We got to know our library books a bit better and held them a bit longer since we missed our library day. Here are our favorites.



I have to say if you have never read Trumpet of the Swans by E.B. White STOP reading this and find a copy. It is one of those books you will want to read and reread. Not only because the characters are charming and the language engaging but the character of the characters is good. The parents value the children, love each other, and strive to be honorable. Louis the main character is responsible, true to his word, motivated and talented. All the characters strive to do the right thing. All in a completely non preachy way, but an honest, true to life fashion. Plus it's just a fun story. You can now frequently hear "Kahooo Kahoo" in our home as Little Miss tries to get our attention from a different room. This is also the first book we had to renew because Little Miss wasn't ready return it.
