Library

Yippie. Thanks to the book selections from Brave Writer's The Wand, Glitter got interested in the Mr. Putter and Tabby books. She liked the books so much that she picked out two more from the library on her own. This is the first book series that she's shown interest in following. For once, I didn't have to coax her to pick out books, and have all my suggestions turned down for being too boyish, too babyish, too hard, or too easy.

Sparkle has been interested in "The Buddy Files" series of books from the library's Bluebonnet Book Club, so I put more books in that series on hold. One of them arrived and I picked it up from the library. Sparkle squealed when I showed it to her. I let her have the book, but only if she read it out loud in the car. When we got home I made her leave the book in the car so she could focus on finishing schoolwork. I'll let her continue reading it aloud on our way to dance class. She's pretty good at reading aloud. She does funny voices for the different characters. Oh, and I had her read aloud because I wanted to find out what happened.

Oh yea, and my librarian totally rocks. She submitted my inter-library loan request for a book even though there are only *five* copies of the book available in libraries in the USA. Yippie. Another curriculum that I can preview for homeschooling for free before deciding on buying.
