Reading Through the Alphabet: F

 

This week we read books that begin with letter F! Our first book is "Frog in the Bog" by Karma Wilson and Joan Rankin. This is a really cute rhyming and counting book about a frog in a bog and the insects he eats. At the end, though, does he get eaten himself?

 

The second book we read is "Frog and Toad are Friends". We love Frog and Toad here. They are really great book for beginning readers. Frog and Toad are hilarious friends! This book has five stories that can stand alone or can be read as chapters. These are very well known books and favorites in our house.

 

 

 

And lastly, the book we read is "The Firekeeper's Son" by Linda Sue Park. I bought this book when we were studying South Korea in geography. This story takes place in the 1800s in Korea. Fires were set on mountaintops in chain by different villages. If the king could not see a fire lit, he would know there was trouble and send out his army. One night, Sang-hee, the son of the village's firekeeper, had to take his father's place because his father hurt his ankle and could not walk up the mountain. Sang-hee debates whether or not to light the fire because he really wants to see soldiers. In the end, he sets the fire and is glad he did. It's a really great story with beautiful illustrations.

 

 

I'm looking forward to seeing which books you read! Link up any posts, old or new, and please visit everyone's links!
