I had another lucky thrift store find: Little Pilgrim's Progress by Helen Taylor. I got it for 50 cents... gotta love finds like that. I knew that I wanted the kids to hear Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan but wasn't sure when I'd start. Evie is probably ready but Elijah isn't. I usually love unabridged versions for most books we read but Pilgrim's Progress is so heavy and I didn't want to turn the kids off from such a great book. Little Pilgrim's Progress is the perfect answer... it's written beautifully, keeping the story intact. I love the short chapters- perfect for the kids to narrate back to me what they've heard. I read half the chapter and get Elijah to tell me what all happened. Then I finish the chapter and Evie narrates from where Elijah left off. They're really enjoying the book so far.
It is nice to see how you spend the time and read with your kids!
