Built by Books

Thank you for sharing your favorite books. There are so many great ones out there that I had completely forgotten. Two of them are below - The Boxcar Children and Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. Both of these books are great, and seem to have a significant following - their Amazon reviews are positively effervescent. The most exciting thing that both of these books demonstrate is a great spirit of ingenuity and problem-solving ability. These are two qualities that I definitely want my boys to develop.

Problem solving is a funny thing in the life of a preschooler. It seems to be pretty easy when it comes to inventing new reasons why it is NOT time for bed, but it's really hard when it comes to turning your underwear right side out.
