On My Bookshelf

Here are a few of the books I'm currently reading!


Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien


I'm rereading this book for a book discussion group at the library. I am really enjoying it! It is a great fantasy tale for children in grades 3-5 and would make a good read-aloud book for younger children. It won the John Newbery Medal in 1972.

Toddler Play By Dr. Wendy S. Masi

I have a 14 month old daughter, so I am always looking for new activities to try with her. This book is full of activities for children ages 12 months - 24 months and is organized by age level.

Let's Knit: The Beginner's Guide to Knitting By Monette Satterfield

One of of my teen book discussion girls taught me to knit last month, and I haven't had time to practice! This book has illustrations to help with various knitting stitches and simple project ideas. I'm going to try a scarf first!

What books are on your bookshelf (or bedside table) right now? I would especially love to hear about books or web sites that have lots of good activities for young children!

I'm so excited that the author of one of these books stopped in to leave me a note. Thanks so much! I really enjoyed my brief knitting lesson and am looking forward to giving knitting a try! I appreciate your offer of help!
