I needed to create a list of all the books we use for our homeschool review last month. I know "numerous library books" is not very informative, but I thought the rest might me helpful for someone...

All of a Kind Family was one of my favorite books ever. As Mr. Fritz will tell you, when I was a little girl I wished with all fervency that I could transport myself to the Lower East Side during the time of the Great Depression and hang out with those girls. I also wanted to celebrate Purim and build a little shack in my backyard the way they did once a year. Sigh. I'm so glad Hannah has read it!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading Homer Price, I found it on audio CD for the boys and it's become a favorite. So much so that they recite parts of it while it's playing and retell the "funny" parts to their daddy!
