We have been listening to them at the pacing AO recommends, about a book per year, so the series has been really drawn out...I plan on listening to her audios through the whole thing.<br /><br />The Song of Robin Hood is a treasure, especially for an older kid or a music lover. And Burton's illustrations are just so wonderful.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-42409012568640168472014-07-14T07:19:13.632-07:002014-07-14T07:19:13.632-07:00Lovely!

And I'm intrigued by a couple I've not seen before - like *The Ship Book.* It was exciting to hear about *The Castle Book.* What a fantastic little group of finds! jen mackintoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342982894645134703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-2600833494795549512014-07-11T20:03:40.718-07:002014-07-11T20:03:40.718-07:00We're reading At the Back of the North Wind ri...We're reading At the Back of the North Wind right now too and I have Water Babies on the list for this year. We're also listening to Cherry Jones' reading of Farmer Boy. I love her style. <br /><br />I will have to look for The Song of Robin Hood. We finished Pyle's version recently and are now reading a version by Louis Slobodkin. <br /><br />I also have to find some All of a Kind Family for dd 1. I think she would enjoy those. Thanks for taking the time to share what you're reading. It's given me some good ideas!Lisa Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04496990920896461103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-72696699639767027202014-07-11T16:55:23.111-07:002014-07-11T16:55:23.111-07:00I'm glad you like The Ship Book!

I saw that the author has one called The Castle Book too, so I'll have to see if I can track it down.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-76992231090934692282014-07-11T16:52:45.322-07:002014-07-11T16:52:45.322-07:00Aw, thanks for reading, Cristina!

I'm happy to help. :) And yes, more space for bookshelves has been high on my list every time we've moved...this time, we have quite a bit of wall space and I really didn't think I would run out of shelf space so soon!Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-32330250178229860362014-07-11T12:12:19.190-07:002014-07-11T12:12:19.190-07:00I see a few familiar titles in your pile. :-) The ...I see a few familiar titles in your pile. :-) The Ship Book is a good one.

I just can't stop and now I've had to start double stacking my shelves for want of space....we're moving in a couple of months and one of my biggest wants is "more space for bookshelves" :) <br /><br />I'm not sure if I've commented before but I just love your blog and it has been beyond helpful as I've been planning my oldest's foray into AO's Y1 this year.
