Have you started Homer Price yet?

I am really happy that you enjoyed the post. <br /><br />Burt Dow is a book that unexpectedly came into our lives and that my kids truly adore. <br /><br />It has a tempo of its own and it is perfect for a slow day, when the whole family has time to sit down and enjoy a special read-aloud. <br /><br />Oh and I haven't started Homer Price yet! Now, I'm itching to take it out of the bookshelf! <br /><br />As soon as I post this comment, I'm taking Homer Price off the bookshelf to peek inside. This week it will be on our repertoire!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your comment and the feedback on Homer Price!<br /><br />Read Aloud Dad<br /><br />Re: @89106d84cad79b916ea3ade1785d94fb Read Aloud Dadhttp://www.readalouddad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903132716272208853.post-75618145955813917842011-09-18T23:12:55.376+02:002011-09-18T23:12:55.376+02:00Your posts always makes me smile.
