Read, Run, Ramble

I'm just a girl on a mission - a mission to read many books, run (walk) many miles and ramble about it all!

26 Fairmont Avenue by Tomie DePaola I read this tonight while on the treadmill because I have a Chat and Chew meeting with the third graders tomorrow (this is the book we’re discussing). I didn’t read it as a child so this was my first experience. I loved it - what an excellent, engaging, interesting, and fun way to share facts and events of the past with kids. This book gives children a glimpse of what it was like to go to a movie in 1938, what movies were like in 1938, what it was like to live through a very unexpected hurricane, and even what it was like to build a house (much longer than today’s standards for the most part)! I can’t wait to hear what the kids thought of this book and of Tomie and his family!
