Some read-aloud ideas for summer and beyond!
Fiction (Literature)
Our focus for the year is stories referenced in the TV series Once Upon a Time, plus a few other books just because
Journey to the Center of the Earth (currently reading this!)
Journey to the Center of the Earth (currently reading this!)
The Phantom Tollbooth (we quite possibly may listen to this excellent audiobook version in the car again)
Through the Looking Glass
Grimm's Fairy Tales (selected stories)
The Red Fairy Book & The Blue Fairy book (selected stories)
Grimm's Fairy Tales (selected stories)
The Red Fairy Book & The Blue Fairy book (selected stories)
The Odyssey
Pinocchio
Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales (selected stories)
One Thousand and One Arabian Nights (selected stories)
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Peter Pan
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Through the Looking Glass
The Lady of Shallot
The Story of Mulan
Beowulf: A New Telling
King Arthur & His Knights of the Round Table
Rip Van Winkle
And for audiobooks, we're looking at:
The Hobbit
and The Lord of the Rings books one, two, and three
[I think I would enjoy listening to these as much as the kids would!]
Geographical books
One of the options for high school social studies in California is a year of world geography/cultures. So I'm looking at vintage books (listed first), and the more modern ones... Maybe we'll mix and match!
The Royal Road to Romance
The Glorious Adventure
The Flying Carpet
Seven League Boots
The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America
Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe
Notes from a Small Island
A Walk in the Woods
In A Sunburned Country
I'll post more later, as I still have nature and science to cover!
