What are you reading?

January 23rd 2009 05:57
They say you can learn a lot about a person from what she is reading. The nifty tool you see below is from LibraryThings.Com; a website that enables you to create your own reading list and connect with people who are reading the same books. You can also post your list on your blog or website. Judging from the books I'm reading, what do you think I'm up to?

If you're looking for a book to read to your daughter before bedtime while imparting important lessons from the Bible, the "Little Girls Bible Storybook" is one that I would recommend.

The particular book we have is meant for fathers to read to their daughter/s, with easy to understand text by Carolyn Larsen and cute illustrations by Caron Turk. The book has 50 bible stories starting off with the story of Adam and Eve. After each story there are suggested activities that will foster reflection, sharing and dialogue between father and daughter. There is also a verse to remember after every story.

The "Little Girls Bible Storybook" is distributed by Baker Books and sells for $16.99. They also have one for Mothers and Daughters, more details here.

Books for Preschoolers

August 22nd 2007 01:09
My husband and I both love to read and we've passed on this passion to our child. There is no denying that learning to read is important, moreover finding the appropriate books to read is equally important. If you have preschoolers at home reading to them regularly is a great way to introduce them to books. Start them off with books like the following:

ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY

Weekly Book List

October 18th 2006 00:45
Every Saturday, my daughter and I visit our local public library and pick out 6 books to read for the week. We've been doing this since she was 41/2 and it has been both a fun and educational activity for both of us. Some of the books we pick are easy readers, ones which she can read on her own. We also pick out books that are more difficult, these are the ones I read to her before going to bed.

I thought it would be nice to share our weekly book list and hopefully this will be of help to other parents out there in choosing books for their children.
