I just finished a book, so in an effort to learn to blog I thought I would attempt to post a report! It is my first post of any kind, ever, except for Goodreads! I am joining the techy generation for sure.
Heart of a Samurai , by Margi Preus

This was a pretty good children's book, a Newbery Honor book for 2011. It is the true story of a Japanese man, Manjiro, who was seperated from his fishing fleet during a storm and shipwrecked with a few friends. They were eventually rescued by a whaling ship. From there the book tells of his adventures and eventual important place in history. Manjiro's story has an interesting connection with another important person whose story is told in a Newbery Award winner in 1956 called, Carry On, Mr. Bowditch. Both these books were mostly worth reading because the stories they tell are true. I am glad these stories are being told to kids, and to me!

I am anxious to hear about what you are reading and cooking! I am going to try some of those recipes that have been posted.

Love to all of you,
Bev
