Tuesdays are turning into Library days at our house. After piano lessons we head to the local library to get our fill of books!
This week, our selections included:
“The New American’s” by Betsy M.
The words are beautifully captured in the gorgeous illustrations!
“Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin” by M. Henry
Isabel and I both loved this biography of the American Quaker Painter boy and his cat!
(We enjoyed looking up his art online. Isabel was impressed by what he could do)
“The Adventures of Myles Standish and the Amazing-But-True Survival Story of Plymouth Colony” by C. Harness.
Isabel wasn’t into this book at all. I did read it but didn’t really enjoy it either, it was dark but those times in history were dark. Prejudiced, Pride and Persecution have followed mankind throughout history and we never seem to learn from it. Having said all that, I will give the author another chance, she has another book about the westward expansion, so we’ll see how that one reads.
Happy reading!
