Book Sharing Monday :: Splat the Cat "I Can Read" Series

I had to take a short break while I was getting our home ready for our big move to Prince Edward Island! Now that packing is almost complete, I have re-opened Canadian Home Learning blog.

I wanted to share with you this fun series of "I Can Read" books. We love Splat the Cat by Rob Scotton and Celeste absolutely loves reading these readers over and over. This says a lot because she is not a strong reader and doesn't usually enjoy reading a lot!

Splat the Cat is a fun and silly black cat. His adventures always have an unexpected twist!

Celeste's favourite is Splat the Cat Good Night, Sleep Tight. In this story, Splat the Cat is camping in his backyard and is looking forward to it until he finds out that his mom invited two of his friends too. He doesn't like them very much...

Feel free to add a link to your book sharing post below. I am not sure, unfortunately, how regular my posts will be, but I will try to keep going!

Book Sharing Monday :: America is Under Attack

"American is Under Attack" is written and illustrated by Don Brown and is part of a series called Actual Times.

When I noticed this title at the library, I was intrigued by it and how it would explain this horrible event to children. Don Brown does an excellent job at explaining what happened. He includes many details and stories about the firefighters and other individuals.

"High on the 88th floor, Frank De Martini, the building's construction manager, hadn't heard anything from the rescue operation based in the lobby. He didn't even know about the plane crash; he thought someone had planted a bomb or that a mechanical room had exploded."
