I almost always initiate a mini-narration from him when we're finished so that I know he understood the story and we discuss the story during and after reading it. Of course, we read more than these, but many have been listed before, will be blogged about at a later date or weren't worth a report.

I wasn't sure if Robbie would enjoy this classic story or not. I've never wanted to raise him to shy away from books, movies, etc. which focus on a female character, so I thought I'd give it a try. After all, we don't expect girls to ignore stories which feature male lead characters. He didn't seem interested at first, but he quickly began to enjoy the story and the illustrations sparked in-depth conversations. His favorite part was where she told the tiger "Pooh-pooh".
Swimmy is the lone black fish in a school of red fish. When Swimmy finds himself alone in the ocean, he sees many creatures (which are wonderfully illustrated throughout). Robbie really liked this story and drew a lovely picture of Swimmy, the school of red fish and the large tuna fish.

Happy Birthday, Beatrix Potter!! (Current Read-Aloud)
In honor of Beatrix Potter's birthday, we are reading our Treasured Tales from Beatrix Potter once again.
We've been wrapping up our ocean life month and I will be posting about some of the books we read very soon.

Peggy Rathmann
I guess we're the last people on the planet to read this book. We thought it was very cute. Robbie enjoyed reading all of the safety tips on the inside of the front and back covers. He laughed heartily as Gloria performed in secret while helping the children to learn safety tips.
(A Little Golden Book)
We've had this classic fairy tale for a long time and I can't believe we've never read it. It was a great bedtime book for Robbie. (I believe he's hoping that some elves come in to clean his room since it didn't wasn't properly tidied before he went to bed.)
Lewis Carroll
We're still reading this, but it's taken a backseat to some other things. We're in no rush, though. It's definitely initiating lots of questions and conversations about some rather odd topics, though. I think that's my favorite part. :)
- Some other books we read and enjoyed this week:
- "The Mine-O-Saur" by Sudipta Bardhan Quallen
- "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Suess

Lewis Carroll
We're slowly reading through this. Robbie is loving the story and is learning a ton of new vocabulary. I know we'll tackle it again when he's older, but he found it on the shelf and asked me to read it to him. When we're finished with this one, I think we'll go back and finish "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (since we didn't finish it before).

- "The Pied Piper" (A Little Golden Book)
- "The Perfect Fishing Spot" by Stan and Jan Berenstain

Since we found a townhouse and moved over the weekend, Robbie wanted me to read some old favorites to him. :)
There were more, but this week has been so crazy that I can't remember them at the moment. I'll try to do better and include descriptions and such next week.
