I've been a little slow in getting this up, but here are some of the books we used during our T is for Truck preschool unit. It mostly became an overall transportation unit.

To go along with our F is for Farm preschool unit, I wanted to share some of our favorite farm books. We read a whole bunch of books, but these were the best.

If you aren't familiar with it, Farmer Brown's cows ...
It has been awhile since I have posted about a book I am reading. I finished Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys a couple weeks ago and I just had to share it.

I am still working my way through the list ...

The pigeon books are definitely my favorite. Hooray for Amanda and ...
My latest read from the Utah Beehive Nominee Books was Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm. Luckily I liked this book a lot better than I liked the Sherlock Holmes book. This book is definitely written for a younger audience. I think third grade and up could enjoy it. This story is set in the Florida Keys during the Great Depression. A young girl named Turtle ...
