Book: “Journey to the Center of the Earth” by Jules Verne
Daddy just finished reading “Journey To The Center Of The Earth” by Jules Verne to our girls. It is part of the “Treasury of Illustrated Classics” book series we have been picking up for the girls. The story is about Professor Hardwigg and his nephew Harry who discover an ancient parchment and explore the world together. Professor and Harry encounter many adventures during their travels including a volcano and ocean sea life. The book encourages the child’s imagination. Karlie especially thought the book was amazing. She is into rockets, planets, space and traveling so the title of the book intrigued her from the beginning. Both girls enjoyed the book and always love it when Daddy reads “chapter” books to them. If you are looking for an adventure book to read to your kids check this one out.
Book: “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” by Kate Douglas Wiggin
Our girls LOVE books so we have been trying on as many nights as possible (when it is not too late) to read through a chapter of a larger book each night before bed and devotions. My husband is currently reading the final chapters of Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm by Kate Douglas Wiggin which is in the “Treasury of Illustrated Classics” series. It is a story of a little girl who was forced to leave her home because her family was poor to go live with her aunts. Rebecca is a sweet young girl with a lot energy. You learn about her life and adventures throughout the book. She wins the friendship of almost everyone she meets along the way. The girls have really enjoyed reading this story and beg Daddy to read more. If you are looking for a good book for young girls this is a great option to consider.
