I'll have to check it out!And that's two good reviews for the Jesus Storybook Bible. That's not the Arthur Maxwell one by any chance, is it?Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560337640607116604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056751566714339740.post-61431400101925050742011-04-13T07:52:10.696-07:002011-04-13T07:52:10.696-07:00My friend reads the Little House books with his so...My friend reads the Little House books with his sons, who are outdoorsy boys that like to spend a lot of time in the woods and camping. They really relate well with them.<br /><br />We don't do novels with Jakob yet, just his Jesus Storybook Bible. I think we'll do Boxcar Children and I remember loving Maniac McGee when I was little. He'll probably read a lot by himself, though, because he already goes off to his room and looks through his books a lot.Jeff Selphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127894356503326650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056751566714339740.post-84105769114546515462011-04-13T06:13:23.529-07:002011-04-13T06:13:23.529-07:00Lori, in case you check this again, oh yes, I read...Lori, in case you check this again, oh yes, I read ALL the Little House books when I was a kid, but I haven't started them with the boys since I thought they might be too girly. But now that I think about it, they probably aren't! I might start on those next! And I agree with you that all those things I mentioned are not terribly important...along with gardening, which I also have no talent at. ;)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560337640607116604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056751566714339740.post-49643050852358888952011-04-13T04:17:00.719-07:002011-04-13T04:17:00.719-07:00Awwww, that totally makes you a ROCKIN' COOL M...Awwww, that totally makes you a ROCKIN' COOL MOM!! Who cares about all those other things (although I CAN drive a stick-shift, just so you know...LOL), the time you spend reading to your kids is PRICELESS and has oodles of benefits for them and YOU!<br /><br />Have you read to them the Jesus Storybook? It's a WONDERFUL version of Bible stories...and each story points to Christ. The wording is creative and rich. <br /><br />Anyway, Lucy loves to be read to...it's just that right now, it's more toddler-type books and sometimes they make me cringe. LOL Although there is a particular chicken book that I absolutely love and wish I could find again at the library but I can't remember what it's called.<br /><br />Ok, I'm rambling.<br /><br />Oh! Laura Ingles Wilder?? Have you read those? LOVE THEM!!<br /><br />Okay, have a great day, girl!Lori at JOY Unspeakablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17777728713317034491noreply@blogger.com
