Tractors!

Boo!

I need one of these at home...

Nothing like a pillory to keep a kid in timeout.

Ben's Book of the Week

The pick for this week is... [insert drumroll here]... Pigsty by Mark Teague.

Ben's review:

I like to read this book every night for a bedtime story. My mom reads it to me and Emanuel.
Wendell didn't clean up his room so it was a pigsty. Pigs came to live in his room and they made a bigger mess. My favorite part was when the pigs came over.
My room is not a pigsty. It's only a little messy.

Ben's Book of the Week

Ben's pick this week is: Going to Sleep on the Farm by Wendy Cheyette Lewison. This one has been his favorite since he was a baby.

Ben's review:

This book is wonderful. I love it. I want everyone to know about this book. I really like to see the pictures of the farm, the owl, and everything in this book. Some things I just don't like to read, so I read this one instead. Well, my mom reads it.

This book is about the animals on the farm. They were all going to sleep. They all sleep differently. The owl was not going to sleep, it was awake. Chickens sit and sleep, horses stand up and sleep, and pigs pile up to sleep.

Additional comments by Emanuel:

It's beautiful.
