Hiking Day | Anne Rockwell

This book has very colorful illustrations! I think the illustrations could draw students into the story more.

This story is about a girl and her family hiking up Hickory Hill. You go with them throughout their journey up the hill. They find different types of trees, animals, and plants. This would be a good book to introduce when talking about the different things we can find in the wilderness.

The Black Fawn | Jim Kjelgaard

Pickpick

This isn't my favorite of Kjelgaard's book, but it's still an enjoyable read. 12-year-old Bud is “farmed out“ from the orphanage to an older couple on a farm. But it turns out that they're just lonely now that all their kids have moved on and while they do need help around the farm, they're mostly just wanting to help a kid who needs it. Bud is wary at first, but gradually comes to love the couple and their home. His first week there, he comes ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) across a newborn fawn and believes that his life/fate/luck is connected to the life/fate/luck of the young buck. The story covers several years, and Bud always seems to see the black buck at important moments in his life. This is Kjelgaard, so there's also a lot about the importance of responsible hunting and land/game management, since that's kind of his soapbox, but it's presented well as always. I really loved the older couple in ⬇ 4mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) this one. They are so kind and sincere in their desire to do good where they can. This is a bit more introspective than some of Kjelgaard's other books, and was published only about a year before he tragically committed suicide. It's not a sad book, but there is a bit of bittersweetness to the story.

This week I‘m choosing the Hometown Hunters series. These are short middle grade novels, each set in a fairly rural area with a focus on a hunting story. This also frequently means some outdoor adventure. They‘ve been great for some of my more reluctant readers who struggle to connect with many popular novels. I‘ve read some of this series and also have a fishing series by the same author.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are new and some I've had so long I don't remember why I bought them.
