We are loving “chapter book” time with Anna, and she’s loving it too. She follows along as we read and tells us if we miss a word. Nothing gets past this kid. Books we have read in February/early March include The Blue Bay Mystery, The Woodshed Mystery, Little Sioux Girl, Betsy-Tacy, and Betsy-Tacy and Tib.

I had never heard of the Betsy-Tacy books, but I think I would have loved them growing up. I loved the Little House books, the Anne books, and other old-timey stuff like that. The Betsy-Tacy books are written in that vein. This New York Times book review is worth a read if you’re interested in them. Apparently, they have a small but very devoted group of fans! I thank our children’s storyteller at our local library for clueing me in to these.

More great books are in the queue… I look forward to sharing next month!
