I was beguiled into coming inside, to read by the fire a new series of chapter books. However, the thought of remaining outside to take in this gorgeous SoCal sunset was quite tempting. The outdoor sounds seem to increase more around dusk for some reason. Do you know why that is? So, I'm wondering what it's like in your neck of the woods...

I get so excited with all the Easter preparations for my family. Being Greek, we always bake lamb and have red Easter eggs. Perhaps you'd like to try my recipe, How to Bake Greek Roast Lamb. For the grandchildren, they'll be having ham and probably macaroni with cheese. What meal will you be serving?
New series for animal lovers |
"Lulu can't understand people who don't like animals-people like her teacher, Mrs. Holiday. When Lulu tries to help Mrs. Holiday find the perfect pet, she is banned from bringing an animal to school ever again! Then Lulu rescues an abandoned duck egg. She's going to have to take it to school to keep it safe. But an egg isn't really an animal... At least not yet, anyway."
The Friday56
"Lulu, why are you holding your stomach like that? Is everything all right?"
Lulu and the Duck in the Park (Book 1)Stay tuned for my giveaway of one of Hilary McKay books next Friday and you may be interested in her blog tour because it's happening now!

Have you reviewed some chapter books in the past and have a favorite? I discovered a list of 16 books and how to get elementary school kids reading by +Tracy from CityofMotherlyLove
