The Joy of Books in the Mail

I love the excitement a big package of books causes at our house!

Here’s what came in our recent box from Amazon:

One Small Square: Seashore by Donald M. Silver – We love this whole series.  I wrote more about this title here.

Take A Walk: Beach by – I just discovered this series when looking at programs at Winter Promise.  This one will definitely be used in our tidepool/ocean study over the next few weeks and we’ll be taking it with us to the beach in June.

Where’s Tumpty by Polly Dunbar – Now our collection of the Tillie books is complete.  We love this series!

Adventures in the Middle Ages (Good Times Travel Agency) by Linda Bailey – M grabbed this one, stretched out on the floor, and read it immediately.  She likes it just as much at the other titles she’s read in this series.

The Stonekeeper (Amulet Book 1) – M was thrilled to have her own copy.  Thanks to Shelia for the review that encouraged me to pick it up.

The Stonekeeper’s Curse (Amulet Book 2) – M is reading this one right now, and I know we’ll be counting down until book 3 is available.

Ancient Egyptians and Their Neighbors by Marian Broida – We’ll be using this for History Odyssey.

Adventures with a Microscope by Richard Headstrom – We saw this book at our local nature center and decided we need our own copy.

Friendly Gables by Hilda Van Stockum – This is the final volume in the Mitchell’s trilogy.  M and I are both excited to see how the story ends.

Mummy Math: An Adventure in Geometry by Cindy Neuschwander – I saw a recommendation for this series at Living Math. Since M has expressed a love for geometry, we’re trying this one first.

How to Think Like A Scientist by Stephen P. Kramer – I saw Becky of Farm School’s recommendation for this book and it was listed as additional reading in R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey: Chemistry.  It looks fabulous!
