There are some books out there that my kids love that are oldies but goodies. Millions of Cats was published in 1928. It is a great book not only for the storyline, but also because of the repetition to the storyline as well. Kids can begin to predict what is going to happen pretty quickly and can also start to read along even it they can’t really read. It also has a good moral and a happy ending. Caps for Sale, published in 1940, is another favorite around here. Again, it is another book that has enough repetition in it that kids can read along and participate in the story. It is also elicits some belly laughing when the monkeys start to throw the hats at the peddler. Lastly, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (1956) is the story of how an outdated steamshovel and her loyal owner take on the challenge of digging the new town hall after being shunned because of their lack of modern technology. Even though we have read it many times, there is still the suspense as they dig. Will they get it done in time? It is just a good story. Enjoy!
Today we were at Little Angels at church making our nametags that were in the shape of angels. Oh, what sweet little children with their sweet little name tags. (Insert screeching brake sounds here.) I look over and Liam has taken red and green markers and drawn huge X’s through his angel. He informs me that his is a Sith and then Colm overhears and pipes in that his is Darth Sidious. (Insert heavy sigh.) Boys.
