After a few orders from Amazon, an ebay find or two, a visit to a museum store, and a look through my friend (and former AG teacher’s) bookcases, we’ve acquired quite a lovely pile of new or new-to-us books recently.
Here’s what we’ve gotten:
Our own copies of two favorites, Hen Hears Gossip by Megan MacDonald and Half Magic by Edward Eager.
The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright
Tentacles by Roland Smith (I recently read the prequel, Cryptid Hunters and M and her dad are reading it together now.)
A Cache of Jewels and Other Collective Nouns by Ruth Heller
The Fossil Factory by Niles, Gregory, and Douglas Eldredge
Usborne’s The Great Dinosaur Search by Rosie Heywood
A Day in the Salt Marsh by Kevin Kurtz
Rocks and Minerals (DK Eyewitness Explorers)
The Weather Pop-Up Book by Francis Wilson
Earth Science Activities for Grades 2-8 by Marvin N. Tolman and James O. Morton
A huge stack of DK Eyewitness books including Dinosaur, Seashore, Spy, Tree, and Mammal.
Oh, I love a new stack of books! “Half Magic” is one of my favorites, too, and I’ve got quite a collection going of those “Eyewitness” books.
My boys devour those eyewitness books like candy.
