Pamela Allen Reading Marathon
As my boys are currently participating in the Premier's Reading Challenge we have been drowning ourselves in books from the library on a weekly basis, checking out up to 60 books at a time. The staff know us when we walk in now and we have been given all kinds of 'nick-names' including being known as 'the tribe'. They see us coming by our books hitting the chute of a Tuesday afternoon, followed by each of us making our way in PJ Bear and Sir Sonic first followed by myself with Princess Poppy in the pram and Boof after helping his sort his library items into the correct chute. They then know they will busy for the next 30 minutes both checking out books and putting some away.
Throughout this process of reading Pamela Allen just kept popping up and I have a feeling that her books are interrupting our reading cadence on a regular basis. So to get her out of the system today we decided to have a Pamela Allen reading challenge of 12 books in addition to those already read. The titles we have now read include:

Dealing with Change
As you can see I have divvied them up. There are some that I definitely prefer over others as they can be extended into the learning that occurs in our home through science based activities or discussions about life and growing up. Others are less inclined that way but could be stretched if I really tried. I am not that determined to give meaning to books that isn't already there though!
