Read-a-Thon Day #5

Tonight we read Bread and Jam for Frances, one of Susan's favorite books. Felix loved the menus of the different meals at the end, and said it made him hungry. He kind of reminds me of Albert.

 We also read a book called Henry's Freedom Box, a book about an enslaved African American who escapes to the north inside of a box.  This book elicited lots of questions, as it always does, about slavery, and what it would mean to be separated from one's family. It's a powerful book, and beautifully illustrated.


And finally, we read Six Dinner Sid, a book about a cat that lives with six different families.  This book always results in a lot of stories about our cat James.

So, to sum it up:
1. Bread and Jam for Frances
2. Henry's Freedom Box
3. Six Dinner Sid
*We did not get to the leveled reader tonight, as Felix was too tired:)

Also, I discovered, today, that there is a way to donate to Felix's Read-a-Thon online! Here is the link to do so!
