Oops! I missed posting in October, so I am adding on our October favorites onto my November's post. We really enjoy Halloween books, so we made sure to read some of our favorites this year along with some new books we loved. Room on a Broom is one of our all time favorites.

A Year of Picture Books (September)
Like prior months, we learned about numerous trailblazers during our journey through historical picture books this year. We learned about female pilots, being dropped thousands of feet into the deep, dark ocean in a metal sphere, a young violin virtuoso, and the adventures that women suffragettes had on their way to achieve Votes for Women.… Continue reading A Year of Picture Books (September)
A Year of Picture Books (August)
We are learning about the British Empire in World History right now so we decided to focus on books set in Britain or its colonies this month.

This all started because I was a little sad to move onto strictly chapter books with Ben because, isn't it… Continue reading A Year of Picture Books (Late April-May)
A Year of Picture Books (April)
We found quite a few gems to add to our picture book series this month. Every single book we picked out features a woman (which was not intentional!) We learned about an awesome female architect who used nature as inspiration for her designs, an invention that made the Queen of England more comfortable while sea… Continue reading A Year of Picture Books (April)
A Year of Picture Books (Late February-March)
We had another great month of picture books. We learned about inventors, authors, human rights advocates, and naturalists. If you think that picture books are just for young children.....you would be wrong! I get just as much from these books as my nine year old does and we get to enjoy learning about these amazing… Continue reading A Year of Picture Books (Late February-March)
