Just wanted to share I went to the local used bookstore to browse last night. I noticed I was attracted to books with good pictures, but when I went to read to do the living book test as Sonya taught in a conference I recently attended, many of those books were so dry and fact based. I went back to the shelf and took down some older looking books with black outline drawings that I had skipped over before. Not all of the older looking books were good, but I would have missed out on a lot of great ones just by judging the book by good pictures as I would have before. I was pleased I was able to tell the difference in living books and non living books on my own and did not have to depend on someone else’s list. Thank you, Sonya! I found some great books for great prices pabout Pilgrims, pocohontas, Annie Oakley, Colonial America, etc. Thanks!
