Les Beletsky
Chronicle Books, 2006
how to identify birds
I bought this for my gran daughter. It has wonderful pictures and you can also push the button and hear the birds call. It is interesting to see the birds that can now be identified so easily. She adores it and is always going through the book, reading and listening.

The Pigeon Wants a Puppy
Mo Willems
Hyperion Book CH, 2008
Pidgeon series review
My grandchildren and I love the "Pigeon" books. The children interact with the stories as they are read and know them by heart. Uncomplicated learning messages and illustrations easily understood by young children. Simply lots of fun!

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Mo Willems
Hyperion Press, 2003
Great Book
My 2 year old really likes this book. We have actually purchased a few other pigeon books, but this is our favorite. The humor might be aimed at an older age group, but our 2 year old enjoys the funny voices we add to the story. This is a fun book to read outloud.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Harper Lee
Grand Central Publishing, 1988
American Classic
Harper Lee wrote only one novel. And it is probably one of the best books ever written. It's a beautiful story of the South and one incredible and emotional year, all told through the observant and innocent eyes of a little girl called Scout.
This is a great book ...

Touching and funny

She makes the serious ...

Our first successful read-aloud
I had tried many different books from Black Beauty to Little Britches to enrich our homeschool literature time.
No joy. Of course, to be fair, it's worth mentioning that my children are still all 6 and younger (all five of them!)
When we did a thematic unit study ...
