What we are reading

We have been reading aloud a variety of books. Two nights ago we finished The Arabian Nights retold by Neil Philip and Illustrated by Sheila Moxley. This was not a complete set of the tales, but included the favorites Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Aladdin. Maia's favorite tales were The City of Brass, Princess Nur Al-Nihar, the Three Princes, and Peri-Banu, The Speaking Bird, the Singing Tree, and the Golden Water, and The Ebony Horse.

We have also started reading stories from Greek and Roman Mythology. We read about Hades taking Persephone down to the underworld to be his wife, the minotaur and the labyrinth, the Trojan horse, and various others. Stories explaining the start of the world seem to be fascinating to Maia right now.

Last night we resumed our reading of The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer. We backtracked a little so the various stories and time periods would be equally well remembered.
