I love our library

Kids both found and read (or had read to them) multiple books. I indulged myself going through a couple of their books-for-sale boxes, and picked up

• Illustrated Dictionary of Religions
• One Gorilla: A Magical Counting Book (which was one of Big’s favourite books, so I’m looking forward to reading it with Small)
• Clever Katya which looks pretty good
• Rudi’s Pond which now that I’ve scanned it, I might withhold for a little while, as it’s about a child who dies and the friend he leaves behind, and Big is having enough nightmares about dying for the moment
• Just Grandpa and Me which has the most glorious pictures in it
• and The Lighthouse Keeper’s Breakfast which is not one we’ve read before, but we’ve had others in that series.

All for the princely sum of £1.80! The religions dictionary is worth that on its own

And now they are listening to Aristocats Read-Along which seems to be keeping them happy. A good afternoon, although it’s so hot! Only 2/3 of the mini milks actually made it into the freezer
