Series Books.

I'm not sure that's the correct name for them, but its the term we'll be using ; ) When I was growing up, one of my favorite things to do in the Summer, when it came to reading, was to read a Series. After finishing the first book, I could not wait to go to the Library and pick up the next few books in the series. A few of my favorites were Little House on the Prairie, including Little House in the Big Woods. Anne of Green Gables, and Nancy Drew, the series from the 1960's. As I got older, Jane Austin and Charlotte Bronte became favorites. I wanted to introduce that same positive experience to the Professors this Summer insha' Allah, and since the weather has had a Summer feel to it, we've started our first series early....

Our first Series book: 

Frog and Toad Together
 by Arnold Lobel 


  
This book brings back many warm memories for me, Masha' Allah, and I couldn't wait to share it with the Professors. Looking back, some of the children I used to read these books too are now in High School! Masha' Allah! 

After we finished our Stencil playdough session, we read this book for story time. Masha' Allah, the Professors loved it, though they were very concerned about remembering exactly who was Frog, and who was Toad.

This book has five stories in it, and I believe there are a series of three books. Due to a problem with the Library catalog, I was only able to put this book on hold, but its worked out just as well. 

Insha' Allah, once we finish the Frog and Toad Series we will move on to the Beatrix Potter books, then see what else strikes our fancy. Suggestions are welcome : )

Happy reading : )
