Welcome to the Bed and Biscuit by Joan Carris

4.0

we're reading this one right now and i'm enjoying the gentle plot line and the loveable characters and the illustrations. although there are a few two-page spreads with no pictures that make a certain listener very antsy, when i ask him questions about the story, he can answer them correctly, so i know he's listening. tip for anyone attempting this in your own home--if your pre-reader child gets wiggly while you're working your way through a long block of text, run your finger under the words you're reading to let them know where you are (almost done!) and to re-iterate the "print awareness" knowledge (i.e. "those letters spell out the words that mom is reading"). if you're presenting this title to a beginning reader, you should know that the vocabulary is not simple! tonight's selection included the word, "lugubrious!"
