My eyeballs are not cooperating, but I’m going to attempt to keep them open to finish up this post! The littles and I finished reading about Louis and his lovely life in The Trumpet of the Swan, so it was time to choose a new read-aloud. I decided to try reading one we attempted before. They are older now and they also saw the play for this at a specialty Children’s Theater. We’ve read just two chapters, but they ask us to keep reading when it is time to stop, which is always a positive sign!

I really like this little version we found at the nearby Dollar store. It has wonderful black-and-white illustrations and the type is larger for little eyes to focus!

I think we’ll finish this in about 2 weeks, but as always I will read as time allows. I do highly recommend a live play of this book if you ever have opportunity. I’m linking up with Mrs. Jump’s Class this week.
