Our latest book

Last week Alison and I decided that the children were ready for a chapter book. This is a big change from picture books that are a few words on each page and big, colored pictures. Our new book is My Father's Dragon, published in 1950. The pages have lots of words and every few pages there is a black and white drawing. We have been reading one chapter per day. Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger. When we finished Chapter 3 today several children said they can hardly wait for chapter 4, which we will read tomorrow. There are 10 chapters in the book. We hope to finish next Friday when we will read chapters 9 and 10.
