Books can be many things to many people. They can be a comfort like a hot bowl of soup on a cold day, they can be entertainment, they can be informative, and they can be islands of imagination taking us on journeys to places we would never go otherwise.
One of my greatest joys is the fact that almost daily my daughter and I share a book or two and take these journey's together. Just recently we shared some fun discoveries while reading the book The Island of Skog by Steven Kellog.
The Island of Skog is a story of mice trying to find freedom and a place to live in peace. They find an island home perfect in every way except for the sole skog inhabitant who tries to scare them off. The story is quite entertaining, the
illustrations quite fine, and I was certainly surprised to find
out who the skog really was. So if you and your child
like a little bit of mystery you need to get this book and find out who the
skog is for your selves.As a side note, I was excited to see that this copy, borrowed from the school library, was autographed by Mr. Kellog. He even drew a little skog holding a heart next to his name.
Signing off for now with wishes for a bright and beautiful day!
