After reading Little House on the Prairie with the girls for their literature, I gave a lot of thought to what we would read next. I didn’t want something in the same time period. I hated to do something we’d already listened to on audio, I had read aloud or C had read. This eliminated quite a few good options.
I wanted a book that would interest both girls as well as myself. One that had timeless themes and interesting characters.
It was a hard decision.
Though I had a lot of good ones on my shelf, I actually ended up ordering one.
Actually two. One for each girl. The Four-Story Mistake by Elizabeth Enright. We had read Thimble Summer aloud last year and C and I both read The Saturdays. We loved those and I wanted us to read one more together. As usual, my ulterior motive is to spark an interest in this author or series and encourage them to read all her books.
So far, we are on chapter six and we are all enjoying it.
