Our Week In Books ~ Thanksgiving

We have a pretty good collection of Thanksgiving books in our home. We have had some of these a few years now and in years past have read them to Holly but this year she is pretty much reading this collection of books to me and then I read them to her after that. Her reading has come so far that she enjoys sitting down with a book now, she has even finished chapter books and lined up her next reads. So, it is fun this year to have her read these Thanksgiving books to us first - a whole new experience!

These are our Thanksgiving books we are using this month. With this collection we are also using a few from last month that are simply pumpkin based, fall harvest or hibernation. We also have a few from the library as well - but we'll be returning them very soon. They have been fun to read!!

Our Week In Books

I always enjoy when I visit other blogs and they share about the books they are reading... I have found so many wonderful books that way! Book are HUGE in our family, one area we really don't hold back on - meaning we'll buy a good book we really want to read. We buy books for our kids, we check out books weekly from the library - we are book people. So, it only feels natural to share the books we are enjoying this week. I think I might do this a bit more often - if you have good recommendations for me, please share them!

Here is our week in books! These are books Holly has read to us and we have read to hear - most of the time both. They are pretty much all Halloween or seasonally themed. Some we have done artwork with or a story map and some we will still be doing that over the next few weeks to enjoy a bit more of the fall season. You will find a few of these are simply non-sense silly character books... ones Holly has enjoyed reading. But some, are beautifully done - Chipmunk Song or Every Autumn Comes The Bear or Pumpkin Soup are all wonderful books. How Many Seeds In A Pumpkin or  Seed, Sprout, Pumpkin Pie are great educational books. Then we have some fun movement and sound books, a poetry book and some silly stuff too! A well rounded mix to read, inspire, discuss, laugh with, think on and more! Our week in books:
