Like men who buy their newborn sons footballs, this grandmother bought chapter books for her grandson — way before he could use them. Now, he's eight, and we are currently enjoying a set of books that I had, of course, bought prematurely. Right now, we are almost finished with Charlotte's Web, by E.B. White, and he adores it! Next, in E.B. White's little three-book collection that has waited so patiently for him to get started on, is The Trumpet of the Swan. I'm ultra excited to be reading it next — because of ElizabethJeanAllen's lens, Trumpeter Swan. This lens is full of information that my grandson will find interesting. There are photographs and lots of little tidbits for him to devour, and he'll even get to watch artist/painter, Rebecca Latham, create a painting of two trumpet swans (On Golden Pond - Trumpeter Swans). Very excited about introducing this lens to him! Once he reads it, he just may want to leave a comment for its author...
This was a beautiful lens. The swans are wonderful and it was great to watch that water color artist at work. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhen I watched that video, I put myself in my grandson's place; he'll be fascinated! :)
