Picture Books We Enjoyed Today
Our picture book reading has been sketchy at best, but we sat down and enjoyed a few books today:
Horses! By Gail Gibbons
Like all books by Gail Gibbons, this one is very informative. The pictures are fun and the diagrams are useful to understand even more about horses. We enjoyed this book, and my horse loving boys even learned something new- horses only breathe only through their nostrils, not their mouth like other animals!
Rembrandt and the Boy Who Drew Dogs By Molly Blaisdell
I chose this book from the library for my dog drawing son. We all enjoyed this story about Titus, Rembrandt's son, who wants to learn to draw. At first, Titus is told that he is too young, but with practice he proves that he is ready to apprentice in his dad's studio. This would be a great go-along to an artist study.
Swift by Robert J. Blake
The author, who spent time among Alaskan homesteaders for the purpose of creating this book, gives an intense account of a boy's first hunting expedition with his father. A bear injures the boy’s father taking the boy on his own bear filled adventure through the forest and down the river to get help. Fortunately the boy's dog, Swift, is there to guide him and protect him. What boy does not love a book that has bear attacks and a trusted canine companion?
