We have been whipping through read-
alouds lately, these two being our latest. Both books were only about 12 chapters long, but the girls still really love seeing those few pictures dispersed here and there. Both books were quite good (just finishing Harry's Mad still), and I enjoyed some of the topics they brought up. (In light undertones, family
separation in the first one, and death of an uncle in the second one.)
The other book that we have been reading but only on occasion is the Book of Family Virtues. It has a selection of virtues, and write-ups on each one that are done really well and have given the girls great explanations of words such as Assertiveness, Consideration,
Generosity, Tact, Kindness, ect. and ways in which we can model them in our lives. (I do do a slight bit of editing depending on the slant the write-up is given, but it has been a great jump-off point for some good conversations.)
