Sarah Reading Picture Books
Sarah is reading a picture book a few times a week. These are also on our Facebook page. 

To Market, To Market by Anne Miranda, illustrated by Janet Stevens. 
Read with permission from Harcourt Press.

King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Audrey Wood. Illustrated by Don Wood. Read with permission from Harcourt Press.
Julianna Reading "Half Magic," a Chapter Book
A reading by Julianna of Half Magic by Edward Eager. This is an enchanting story about four siblings who find a magical coin. There is a problem - the coin only grants half wishes so the siblings must always wish for twice as much, which causes double the trouble. Set in the 1930's, but just as funny today. This is also on our website.
