This was an amazing book. Uncle Henry teaches his niece and nephews the constellations from his lake beach, drawing in the sand and using pebbles for stars. The children have fun learning and finding star people. Then in the winter Uncle Henry goes to their apartment and teaches them more using a chalkboard on the roof. I like the stories and pictures. I have the 1928 book.

The writing was fine, but the plot felt incomplete, especially the ending. I was into this book but wasn‘t satisfied with how it ended. It felt unfinished to me.
***Edit: Hello, there‘s 2 more books after this one!! Cliffhanger then!

pickWow what a cool book about the man who took pictures of snowflakes! Mr. Bentley was fascinated with snow so much that when he received a camera as a gift, he perfected taking pictures of snowflakes. Pretty illustrations and a wonderful story.
I enjoyed reading this version of financial help and the sprinkling of Bible verses throughout. The true stories from people making it out of debt and into better lives was inspiring.
Now to get my husband to get on board and pay the house off 15 yrs earlier…..hmph.

We‘ve been conjuring up ❄️ snowflakes here. These are made with paper lunch sacks, brown or white.

It was snowing this morning (we didn‘t get much). On the right is the 10 year old complaining that she has to go to school & can‘t go outside to play. On the left is Oliver as nosy Ned. He likes to watch everyone outside.

Many snowflakes = snow day 😁

the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air
is full of it."
