We won't discuss how long it's been since my last Wordsmith Wednesday post. Most of "my" reading these days is to the boys. Owen, who has always been pleased to listen to us read aloud, is now enjoying mostly chapter books read by us as well as audio books. Caedmon has just recently begun to enjoy hearing books read. He prefers lots of very short books right now. He will gladly listen to a stack of books as long as you will read (and re-read them), but he won't listen to one longer book along with Owen.
Today, I'm not sharing one book with you. I'm sharing a whole collection of books. Soon after we moved back home to Tennessee, I signed Owen and Caedmon up for the
Rutherford Books From Birth program. It is part of the work of
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and the
Governor's Books From Birth Foundation. These programs (in Tennessee, across the US, in Canada, and in the UK) provide children from birth to five years a book each month regardless of income.
The boys have really enjoyed getting books each month in the mail, and we have been pleased to receive some old favorites such as the
Little Engine That Could and
The Snowy Day as well as some new ones such as
Little Pink Pup and
Little Owl's Night.
