The girls and I just read this book aloud. I had forgotten how rich the language is in this children's classic. The version we read (pictured) was beautifully illustrated. We have the movie (2003 non-animated version) on its way from Netflix.

Our Town

Zachary, Ryan, Catherine, and I just read this play of Thornton Wilder's which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1938. After we finished the book, we watched the excellent Masterpiece Theater production which starred Paul Newman as the Stage Manager. We greatly enjoyed both.

Animal Farm

Orwell's allegory of Soviet communism is one of my favorite books. Zachary, Ryan, and I read it together recently as we studied about the Russian Revolution and life in Russia under Lenin and Stalin.
