After noticing that I have never done a train specific story time (well, during the life of my blog, anyway), I decided it was about time! I found some great train books out there (which are listed in our catalog as under the subject "
railroads trains juvenile fiction", NOT "
trains juvenile fiction" as I had assumed. After searching for "trains juvenile fiction" and finding only about 12 books, I figured there was a problem).
Anyway, here are the books that I chose for today's story time!
The Goodnight Train by June Sobel
Dinosaur Train by John Steven Gurney
Clickety-Clack by Rob and Amy Spence
And, as always, it's
FMRNS!!! WHOOOOOOOT!!!!! A and I were lucky enough to be able to get together a couple times this past week to have Bonus Night of FMRNS! We watched
The Pink Panther Strikes Again, from 1976 with
Peter Sellers,
Herbert Lom and
Lesley-Anne Down. We also watched
True Grit, from 1969 with
John Wayne,
Glenn Campbell and
Kim Darby (not to mention
Robert Duvall and
Dennis Hopper) - the only western on the list.
This evening, A and I are going to watch a silent film from 1927 called
Metropolis. It's been a while since we watched a silent film (the last one was
Nosferatu, from 1922 based on the Dracula story), so I am excited!!
