We are almost finished with a fantastic book, that I read many years ago myself, "My Side of the Mountain," by Jean Craighead George. The best way for me to describe this book is as a clolse your eyes and imagine book.
Brave Sam Gribley heads off to the Catskills to live of his family's long forgotten land. Skilled at fishing, hunting, and constructing incredible aly necessities; you can't help but want to turn every page.
After we finish the kids are going to draw their own interpretation of the book.
Make reading time a part of your family time. Sharing books and having mini book discussions is yet another way to stay connected to your children. Plus you get to read the classics stories again a more adult perspective.
