The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Reading Tom Sawyer. This book has been a little harder to get into. The language (southern accent) makes it a little harder to follow. My reading is not as smooth either, which makes it harder for the girls to follow along. I think this is better for children in the upper elementary grades. I think it's definitely a worthwhile read. It's so different than anything kids are used to nowadays. Tonight, I decided to put Ellie to bed early, but when she heard we were going to read Tom Sawyer without her, she started crying. We read all together up in her bedroom. The girls are really enjoying this book. It's been really fun to get into it.
