I am going to enjoy the final weeks of summer having fun with our daughter. My next new post will be August 21st.
| Our little lady loves science, and we have had a number of science experiment books over the years. This one is by far our favorite. First, the layout of the book is terrific. Experiments are divided into four sections: Kitchen Chemistry, Physics and Making Things Move, Exploring the World, and The Human Body. Each experiment focuses on a specific science question and includes preparation and experiment time guidelines as well as a supply listing. Supplies are traditionally things one would already have in their home or are easily found at the grocery store. Experiment instructions, outcome details, and explanation as to why the experiment works are included for each experiment as well as fun related facts. The 101 Coolest Simple Science Experiments: Awesome Things to Do With Your Parents, Babysitters, and Other Adults is a great resource for indoor summer fun when it is just too hot to be outside. |

| The Weekly Prayer Project is a journal that is divided into seven different sections that reflect seven different types of prayer (requests, gratitude, lament, intercession, faith, repentance, and awe). There are weekly sub-sections that include scripture and reflective questions for each week of the year. This hardback journal is simple yet beautiful and would make a lovely gift.

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is a favorite at our home. It is a beautifully written book that explores a scientific question (Why the yellow grasshoppers in her backyard are bigger than the green ones?) and the development of a close relationship between Calpurnia (Callie) and her grandfather. Our daughter has read and re-read this one. It is simply terrific! |

| Wonder is an incredibly moving story. It details the experiences of Augie, a 5th grader who has craniofacial anomalies and is attending public school for the first time as a mainstreamed student.

| Book Thieves is a great fantasy adventure tale. Many a book lover has dreamed of having the ability to jump into a story he was reading. Book Thieves lets us find out what happens when someone really does jump into the story! This is the first book in the series and was a constant companion for our daughter for a couple of days. She read it every free moment that she had. |

| Peter H. Reynolds is a favorite author, and his new book Happy Dreamer is a delight. This sweet tale reminds the reader that dreams are meant to be pursued not put on the back burner until the “right time”. Many a reader will relate to the struggle of being full of imaginative dreams in a world that often doesn’t seem to encourage and embrace being different and coloring outside the lines. Happy Dreamer can be enjoyed by little kids as well as big kids. |
