1st Quarter - Week 9
We have a "C" theme this week, so many of the characters in the books we are reading begin as such. You'll also find a quilting theme. Our Five In A Row book this week is The Rag Coat, which is the story of a poor Appalachian girl and her homemade coat.
Curious George Learns the Alphabet & Curious George Gets A Medal by H.A. Rey
The Patchwork Cat by Nicola Bayley. Great story about a Tabby that sets out to retrieve her beloved patchwork quilt. My favorite passage from the disgruntled cat: Tabby licks herself and thinks. "I should send this family away and let the milkman stay with me."
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. All-time favorite children's story!
The Name Quilt by Phillis Root. Loved this story about a Grandma & a quilt.
The Rag Coat by Lauren Mills
Cook-A-Doodle-Doo! by Janet Stevens & Susan Stevens Crummel. Very funny spin on the Little Red Hen story.
The Baby BeeBee Bird by Diane Redfield Massie; illustrated by Steven Kellogg. Another all-time favorite library book.
Babushka's Doll by Patricia Polacco. Very valuable story about a little girl who gets a doll that turns out to be twice as rambunctious as her owner.
Cock-A-Doodle Dudley, Chester the Worldly Pig & Cowardly Clyde by Bill Peet. Mr. Peet has become one of my favorite story tellers. Always very clever and great illustrations. No wonder - he was a Disney artist for many years.
Carl's Masquerade by Alexandra Day. I liked the illustrations in this book, but I don't care for books that have few to no words. The main character is Carl, a Rottweiler. Not exactly the kind of dog I want to lead my children to think are safe & cuddly!
On the Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder
The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss
C is for Clown by Jan & Stan Berenstain
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff

Do you have pictures of your slings you could share? How much do you sell these for?
