Last week we enjoyed reading Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. We also read other books by Virginia Lee Burton: Maybelle the Cable Car, Katie and the Big Snow, and The Little House (did you notice Mary Anne in one of the illustrations?). We enjoyed the art lessons and learned about the elements of a good story, which we practiced with the author's other books. Katie and Abby made Mary Anne Brownies. A yummy ending for our week!

My 6yo just pulled the Little House off the shelf for the umpteenth time and was sitting by himself looking at it when he came to me and said, "Look Mom! It's Mary Anne!" Fun stories! We learn so much with fiar. Do you spend just 1 week/book?
At this stage, yes, just one week. We've done two weeks before, but we are only doing the supp. books and not projects, so one week is enough.
