Weekly Reading Highlights (May 4th 2009)

  The book the girls were most excited to hear this week was The Meanest Doll in the World, the 2nd in a series by Ann M Martin. Thegirls give it 5 stars, I think it was pretty good.

  There are some books that we've loved foryears, the kind I've read over and over and over to my girls delight. The Duchess Bakes A Cake, by Virginia Kahl (1955). These silly rhymes tell thestory of a woman who bakes a cake that rises about 100 feet in the air."You'll all be delighted, for I'm going to make/A lovely, light, luscious,delectable cake." Ella gives this book 5 stars. I think it's pretty good too.

  But my personal favorite of the week was Honey,I love by Jan Spivey Gilchrist (1978). This is another book we've loved foryears. I got this one in celebration of mothers because of my favorite pages inthe book. "My mama's on the sofa, sewing buttons on my coat / I go and sitbeside her, I'm through playing on my boat / I hold her arm and kiss it 'causeit feels so soft and warm / Honey, let me tell you that I LOVE my mama's arm/  I love to kiss my mama's arm..."
