AAS Beehive Reader #2 (TOS Crew Review)

Remember when I reviewed the All About Spelling Beehive Reader?  My son's first question was, "do they have any more?" when he was done reading it.  Well, we were sent their second book before it was even available to the general public for purchase!  Oh, the excitement!!

First of all, the Beehive Reader will be renamed Cobweb the Cat, so look for it by that name, too.

Secondly, the book we just received is a slightly more advanced reading level book at level 2, and it is called What Am I?

Again, a great collection of short stories with great drawings, likable characters, and an elusive kind of charm that wraps kids up in the book like no other book this size seems to do.

Maybe it is because the book is comprised of shorter stories, so it isn't overwhelming...?
Maybe it is the delightful, pencil-style sketches throughout the book that make the stories come alive...?
Maybe it is having his first hard-back, non-Seuss book that he can actually read....
Whatever it is, the second book is as big a hit as the first!

You can currently obtain the first book on their website, but the second one, What Am I?, will not be available until after April 15th - it is currently busy with its debut at all the homeschool conventions happening right now across the country. {wink}  And I may have heard something about a series... {wink, wink}

**Update: This book is NOW AVAILABLE!  List price is $19.95, but it is on sale for $15.95 until April 26th!!

Incidentally, it looks like these books will fall under a sub-name: All About Reading.  The main curriculum is still All About Spelling.

*Disclaimer: The above-mentioned book was sent to me for FREE so that we could read it and review it.  An honest review was all that was promised, and no compensation has been provided.  This review is my own opinion.

Field Trip to the Nashville Zoo!

Did anyone watch the weather for Middle Tennessee today? No? Well, let me tell you about our field trip to the zoo! We arrived to discover that almost every other school group of pre-kindergarten through second grade children decided to go to the zoo today! Our first view of the zoo was of the PACKED parking lot, to the side of which we saw two things: more than a dozen big, yellow school buses; and so many groups of children gathering before the entrance that the entryway was concealed from view! After delving into the fray, we parked our minivan and headed up to find our group. (Let me interject here that my children and I had created matching shirts to help us stay together and identify each other should we become lost. This was more wise than even we knew when we decided to make them! Luckily, no other school group had quite our shade of sunshine yellow, so we were good to go!!) Okay, into the zoo we go! The kids are excited! The animals are awesome! And, the rain is begin

Perimenopause: What to Expect that You are NOT Expecting

Perimenopause: What to expect that you're NOT expecting. Chapter 1: The Hot (Fire) Flash (Surge) The fan must be on. In every room. And you are now Mr. Rogers. You have a sweater for every outfit. However, you live in tanks and short-sleeved shirts underneath because nakedness is frowned upon in public places and you must disrobe in haste, frequently. The socially-encouraged bondage device, a.k.a. the bra, is more despised than ever. Fuzzy socks are your friend, because your circulation is poor and your skin is dry. You will end up with a pair in every room because you inevitably needed them off for extended periods and wandered away from them, only to need them again in another room. Winter weather is both bone-chillingly cold and a delight to overheated skin. Sometimes simultaneously. Summer is intolerable. Do not get me started on having a fever while experiencing a hot flash. 😳 And while we're mentioning it.... "Hot Flash" is not an adequate phrase for the rush o

Weary of Winter

Last summer, we began a tedious journey through a difficult season in our lives: family trials coupled with unprecedented numbers of illnesses in our home have just about driven me batty.  So, after a frayed rotator cuff in my right arm (why i don't blog as often anymore), the discovery of a couple of possible learning disabilities in my kiddos (not covered by our insurance, naturally, so we're on our own), two stomach viruses (TWO!!), possible RSV that led to pneumonia (myself and the Littlest Princess), bronchitis (hubby), and an ear infection (the Man-Child)... i was deeply touched to be sent the " Stylish Blogger Award " by a friend from my reviewing days on The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Homeschool Crew !  Wow! I needed that reminder that there is life out there and i used to be a part of it!! Thank you, Heather!! :^) Check out her awesome site at http://faithfamilyandfun.com/ I don't know how she does it, but there is always something new and inspirin
