If Lou is loving Robert McClusky, you all might enjoy this lovely little nonfiction book about him, sculptor Nancy Schön, and the duckling installation at Boston Public Garden:
When it comes to classics (specially Russian classics), one may need quite a bit of background history of the era and what people felt and thought at those times to really "get" the book. When I was in school the novel studies used to align with the history lessons, so we leraned about the history and read books from the same era around the same time. I really love some classic books that have a commentary in the front. Sometimes I opt not to read the commentary, but if I dont get the book, I will go back and read it to get some pointers.

Yes! These are such important points and great tips. I love the idea of reading fiction alongside history. What a great way to enrich both.
I love seeing that Blueberries for Sal and Make Way for Ducklings are 2 favorites ❤️
Two of our favorites thanks to you!
I love the picture books you’ve recommended. And it’s so lovely to see your daughter engrossed in books 🤩
I feel lucky! We'll ride this as long as we can!
