Children's Literature: Pick of the Week

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, by Howard Pyle. We've been reading this book for my older son's second grade school year, and we are having a great time with it. It's easy to understand the language used (not sure how you would classify it...maybe 19th century "old English"), and it's neat how the language adds to the fun of the book (words like "wot" and "quoth").

If you are interested in seeing our school reading schedule, we are following the Ambleside schedule fairly closely. We will finish our school year by the end of July and take August off. The next school year will begin on Labor Day (we'll have a 3rd grader, 1st grader, and a preschooler). It's great how much I'm learning! The best thing about next year is we'll be starting some serious American History. Exciting!
