Christina Katerina and the Box

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I want to tell you more about one of the books we found at the thrift store on Saturday. Christina Katerina and the Box.

This is a really, really cute book! I read it to Princess of the Universe on Saturday night. It’s not the kind of book that I would try and build a unit study around.  Well, maybe for a younger student, and including topics like having manners with friends, recycling, creativity, etc.  

It’s just a sweet book about children playing — really playing using their imaginations and a cardboard box.  It reminds me of the way my sister and I played when we were little.  Also, if you grew up playing with any annoying neighborhood boys, you might have a rush of memories when you read about the antics of Fats Watson.  :)

My daughter enjoyed the book.  I enjoyed it!  I think it’s worth having on the bookshelf!

As an aside, my on-site job training is nearly done. Yaay! I’ll be home soon, full time. I’m really enjoying my new job! 

Happy Monday,
