One my third grader got some meaty books under her belt, I couldn't wait to introduce her to Cornelia Funke! Of all the loot, Dragon Rider was the first book she began reading.
Dragon Rider is a glorious 544 pages. Now that's a whopper! If it wasn't quite so long, it would definitely be a selection for homeschool book club. Prepping activities for this book is going to be a blast...
Does Paolini's Eragon draw inspiration from Funke? These books are just begging for compare and contrast activity.
Also new this week: Inkheart, The Familiars, The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates: Magic Magic Marks the Spot, and The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail.
Happy reading!
Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from The Captive Reader and Linda from Silly Little Mischief that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. If you’d like to participate, just write up your post-feel free to steal the button-and link it using the Mr. Linky any time during the week from Claire's blog. And of course check out what other participants are getting from their libraries.
