The first real, big chapter book that Julianna has read in its entirety. All 22 chapters of it. Written in 1917 this adorable book tells the tale of a happy little Robin bird named Jolly and his adventures from hatchling to adulthood. Julianna LOVED this book so much and we had so many fun discussions about it. It led to studies on birds and migration. We even spent one day learning about katydids (one of the birds eats one I think which is what led to the tangent) we found out what they sound like and we went outside to try and find one! I made her read one chapter a day, although sometimes she was anxious to move ahead. When she completed the whole book she had to do an official book report. She made her own booklet by writing 6 things that happened in the book in order and then illustrated them. It's been about a week now since she finished the book and she is still talking about it. Jolly was like a good friend and she kinda misses him now that he is gone. That's the way a good book should be.
