Reading Report

This week, my little one, who is in kindergarten, was assigned to do a book report. This was something new for us, as none of my children have ever done book reports. So, instead of daily readings from a chapter book, we read and re-read one book over and over to solidify the story for my little one. We read this single book, no less than 862 times. (As a result I have had flashbacks of my three babies all at my feet, reciting Good Night Moon from memory.)

Thankfully, this book is well written with beautiful pictures, making our repeated readings joyful and fun. I would certainly recommend this book as a perfect birthday gift for the 5 and under set.

The second book I completed this week was Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand, a story about a racehorse and his rise to fame.  Although I have not yet seen the movie, I can see why this story would make a great one. It is full of action, determination, heartbreak, tragedy, and love. About a year ago, I read Laura Hillenbrand’s other book, Unbroken. And her fantastic writing in that book is what caused me to pick up Seabiscuit.  I would recommend both of these books to men and women alike.
