Luck

By
Although I don't remember it very often and it is something I need to work on, but I love it when I realize how lucky I can get sometimes.

A couple of weeks ago I snagged a classic at the library for my little ones. I couldn't resist. It is a classic. Or at least I think it is.

Here is the lucky part. The kiddos started school last week and on Friday my son brings home his first homework assignment. He's in Pre-K.

Please work with your children on the following sight words. This will help them have a head start in kindergarten. Thank you so much for your cooperation!
  • go
  • at
  • here
  • down
  • and
These same words are all throughout this short and sweet board book. Go and See. It's perfect! I hope to find more of these gems.

A More Economical Way to Acquire and Recycle Books

By
I love books.   I almost think that I’m a book-a-holic because I drool over and snap up books like some women do shoes.   Like many, as the economy dives, I’ve had to cut back from my usual book buying haunts in search of cheaper and more economical resources. In the beginning, I went cold turkey and started to get any book that I wanted from the library – test drive it to see if I really wanted it.   Then I really started to pay attention to the library’s annual book sales and, of course, the books that they have for sale in the foyer every day.   Can’t go wrong with $1.00 hard cover and $0.50 paperbacks!   I’ve gotten many ‘steals’ from browsing this selection. Unfortunately, the selection can be quite limiting.   Thankfully, I stumbled upon a new and upcoming online bookswap service called BooksfreeSwap.com.   It was created earlier this year as an easier way to swap books and audiobooks online.   Swap as in, FREE! Here is how it works: ...

Ever since we read Tiger, Tiger , my son gets excited about any books that have Tigers, so I couldn't resist on picking this one up for him. Home for a Tiger Home for a Bear by Brenda Williams and Illustrated by Rosamund Fowler (Ages 4-8) Rhyming lyrics throughout the story of types of animals and what habitat you can find them in is quite fun.  "Leaping tiger, eyes like glass.  Likes to hide in jungle grass."  or "Shiny, slippery, slimy snail.  Has a shell for head and tail....

What's on My Nightstand - August

By
It's that time again when 5 Minutes for Books hosts the monthly carnival - Whats on Your Nightstand ? Click on over and see what everyone else is reading, or better yet, link up yourself and share with the rest of us what you are reading. No blog is necessary. You can always join in by leaving comments on what you are reading. I've been reading a lot of books with the kids for the 2009 Support Your Local Library Challenge hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog , so I have not had much time for reading of my own. Because of that, I've tried to scale down the number of books that I am reading. I truly love our library system! So, among the children's books they love me to read, I am also juggling time for a few of my own. All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum I was at my annual sales conference in July and one of our speakers referenced this book. Just from her highlights, I wanted to read more. Share everything. Play fair. Don...
