One afternoon, a friend of his came over, saw the book on his nightstand, and informed my son that it was a "girl's book". At which point my son picked up the book, began reading it aloud and within five minutes the two of them were talking about how cool it would have been to live back then. Good memories are made in moments like that! <strong>Great story! </strong> I remember reading these with my boy when he was about James’ age.

I think it's so great you were able to make Snow Candy--we read this in the summer, under the big tree in our then backyard. We all loved "Viking Tales" and the vikings still apear from time to time in imaginary play even though my son is 13 now. "Parables of Nature" we read at bedtime along with a "story" from Vos' Bible Stories. Various Shakespeare stories, poems and "Understood Betsy" are mentioned often still, too. I have the Little Duke in print and cd I hope still to send you in time for Year 2. We did NOT love it till I got the cds and we were able to pronounce the names. After that the long neglected Eyewitness Book on Knights came out! They played Knights for several weeks!! We ended up understanding some about Coats of Arms, Hereldry and the art of that era as well--all from one story! My point here is not just to ramble about books I/we love, but to help you see what an awesome foundation you are giving James!! <strong> Thanks for sharing. I'm glad to hear your children still talk about those books.</strong> I remember how excited my kids were by this book!

I love when kids get to enjoy reading and discover the joy or curling up and reading a book, feeling the touch of the paper and hear the rustling as the pages are turned. :) It is a precious gift that you give your son, something that will grow with him. fun!!

I made snow candy with our kids brought back fond memories to me. Have you ever read "Treasures of the Snow" Also an excellent book to read to young children. I have forgotten the author but she had other books too. <strong> I know I read that book. I'm sure we'll read it sometime along the way here.</strong> What wonderful memories you are making.
