First Grade Adventures

The fall he started first grade, we discovered together the wonders Narnia held. He'd received a complete set as a gift and that became our bedtime reading material.

It was truly a magical journey for us both. We laughed and cried over Reepicheep, his favorite character and discussed the parallels between Aslan and the Lord Jesus.

By the end of the school year, when we completed the last chronicle, I had been booted from the job of bedtime story teller (too slow for him).

We also discovered the Time Warp Trio and Encyclopedia Brown series as well as the Wishbone Adventures and a generous helping of classic children's books. Our reading menu was certainly a superbly balanced diet!
