We are not ready to dive back into our routine as we are still unpacking in a major way, but why not an audiobook? This sweet story has been on my list for awhile and who doesn't love a story read by the author?
There's a surprising about of information about swans and nature (and business dealings!) in this story which is delightful. Both myself and my 13 and almost 10 year old enjoyed The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White.

Literature For Lunch-All-of-a-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor
Well isn't this delightful!?!? A family of five girls growing up in New York City in 1910ish. What's kind of fun is my Mother's aunt was born in 1913. Tales of scarlet fever, Jewish holidays, city neighborhoods, hard lessons, sisterly love...all woven into mini-chapters that are easy to start and stop (audiobook). There seem to be more books, I'm guessing the kids will want those, too! Really enjoying "All-of-a-Kind Family" by Sydney Taylor.

Literature For Lunch-James and the Giant Peach
This is simply FANTASTIC on audiobook! Narrated by Jeremy Irons (Scar from "The Lion King", among others). The kids were delighted and I loved revisiting this story from my own childhood.

Road Tripping AudioBook - Peter and the Secret of Rundoon
We've become ADDICTED! We finished reading Peter and the Starcatchers (Book 1) along with Peter and the Shadow Thieves (Book 2) and rushed to the library for the CD set of Peter and the Secret of Rundoon (Book 3). We've been doing a lot of driving and this came in quite handy. LOVE the series!
