We have, and we haven't! We have some good ones that we have been reading but it's been sporadic....
(...continuing our list of 100 books...)
58. The Once Upon a Time Map Book by B. G. Hennessy - This is a pretty sweet book that teaches kids how to use a rose compass, simple representations of latitude and longitude, how to identify routes and distances and just simply follow directions. Mo and Colleen have been on a map kick lately so I figured, why not? It looked hard but was perfect for Mo at 5 years of age!
59. Music Over Manhattan by Mark Karlins - There will always be music books in our house!
60. Jake the Philharmonic Dog by Karen LeFrak - Another super educational book! This one teaches about the different musical groups in an orchestra, as well as some musical 'lingo'. It's a cute story!

Noisy books
(...continuing our list of 100 books...)
34. White Snow Bright Snow by Alvin Tresselt (the title alone ignited a discussion about why 'ite' and 'ight' sound the same in English...I love how my boy is learning to read and discovering the anomalies of the English language! Just wait until you get to palate, pallet and pallette! or pour, pore and poor! or rein, reign and rain! or raze, rays and raise! or seas, sees and seize! or wear, where and ware! or weigh, way and whey! Sorry. I could harp on homonyms all day. As an English teacher, they are sooooo annoying! But I digress...back to the list!)
35. And the Train Goes by William Bee
36. Curious George Visits the Zoo by Margaret and H. A. Rey
And I promise next time not to climb on the 'why-I-learned-another-language' soap box!
