David says:
I liked that Glinda was nice to everyone but I didn’t like when Oz was trying to trick everyone. He said he could do magic when he can’t.
I thought the china city was silly. I also like that the witch kissed Dorothy because it protected her and I liked that the shoes carried her back to Kansas.
My favorite characters were Toto and Dorothy because they were very nice to everyone. Like how she took the scarecrow off the pole and she oiled the tinman. My other favorite character was Glinda.
My least favorite character was the Wicked Witch of the West because she was bad and she tried to fight them with the golden cap but they couldn’t hurt Dorothy because she had the kiss.
Reading a book a week with my six-year-old son David is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
you amaze and inspire me with how good you are at carving out time for your kids. I have just written in my journal about how I feel such a bad mum today as my kids got very little of my attentions. Its good to have a focussed project like this that they ‘buy-in’ to too.
You are doing a wonderful job
trust me, i am selfish with my time and ignore them often too. I just try to spend a small amount each day. i figure it’s better than nothing, some days i fail miserably and other days i do better. it’s easy to feel lousy as a mom. like you aren’t doing enough. because there’s always so much more to do.
Isabella is finishing up this book right now, how cool that you were reading the same book at the same time!
