Book Review - Mountain Born

Leia - This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. Some of the language that was used was pretty old and I'm sure Jango didn't get everything. Especially at the beginning there was a lot of descriptions, and he didn't seem to be too interested, but then he just jumped right in and started asking lots of questions. It was a sweet book with a very good message. All about a boy growing into a young man, and lots of information about sheep farming in general... so it should be a great addition to any young boys library!!



Jango - It was cute, and a little sometimes sad, especially at the end. It was exciting and my favorite part was when he kept all of his promises at the end.

Book Review - Gooney Bird Greene

Leia - I had never heard of this book before this year, and I have to say it's one of my favorites... I just LOVE this little girl, and everything about her. I know it was one of Jango's favorites because he kept asking for me to read it over and over again.





Jango - It was about Gooney Bird Greene telling stories. Her stories were fun and I wished the whole book was so long that it reached to the moon. It was funny.

Book Review - Charlotte's Web

Jango, Boba and I do school at home. Jango and I have many different and diverse books to read throughout this year. So we're going to each review the books that we read through the year.





Book #1 - Charlotte's Web


Leia - I had read this book when I was a kid, but I didn't remember all of it. I remember being upset by something that happened at the end, but I couldn't exactly remember what it was. This book was so much fun to read. I loved doing the voices of the different farm animals, and especially how sweet and humble Wilbur is. I'm looking forward to watching the movie soon with my boys.


Jango - Charlotte had babies and three stayed with Wilbur while all the other ones were gone. Charlotte, a spider, wrote things in her web about Wilbur... I liked this book a lot!





We read this book a couple of months ago, and the details have become foggy... I can't wait to read it again!! More book reviews coming soon!!
