Barbed Wire Baseball by Marissa Moss (Hist. Fict.: Playing baseball in Japanese interment camps during WWII. Not a lot is written about this horrific government action during WWII.)
We are the Ship by Kadir Nelson (Hist. Fict: Postive/Realistic story of the Negro League)
Derek Jeter's Ultimate Baseball Guide 2015 by Larry Dobrow (Very Basic, I think the boys were a little disappointed on the playing tips but enjoyed the statistics.)
Long Ball by Mark Stewart
Ballpark: The Story of America's Baseball Fields by Lynn Curiee
Seashells by the Seashore by Marianne Berkes (By far my favorite counting book ever! Love the pictures, writing and the fact Amber learned how to identify 10 different seashells.)
Farmer Dale's Red Pick-up Truck by Wheller (Chris and Amber cracked up to this again and again)
Joe Cinders by Marianne Mitchell (Boy version of Cinderella, Jared read to Titus again and again.)
Henry and Mudge by Cynthia Rylant (Titus is now reading this series. My absolute favorite early reading author).
A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (This was my first time reading this novel. Though the writing is excellent, I will not be having the kids read it till high school or maybe never due to the content. It is a very dark look into sinful side of humanity during the French Revolution. It is historical fictions but of events quite disturbing. I have no idea where all the cute re-makes of the same name ever came from I saw no resemblance in the original.)
