The world according to Humphrey

I was skeptical about this book at first. Normally, I'm not into the personified pet story but I set out to try The World According to Humphrey after discovering it as a recommendation in the new 2020 Sonlight Curriculum Kindergarten core. It was worth the read. I read it alone to preview it, although I think my kindergarten son will enough it. I look forward to revisiting Humphrey and perhaps continuing his adventures. I borrowed this from #libbyapp on my Kindle, and definitely want to own it.

Go figure that I wrote this original review through the Kindle and it published to Amazon but not to Goodreads. I'm highly entertained by all the educational tidbits that are included throughout the book from nocturnal animals to learning all the capitals of the United States, states of matter, subtracting fractions, Mount McKinley (tallest mountain peak in the US!), Brazil on a map, holidays and traditions such as Hanukkah and Halloween, and so much more. Memories of the eagerness to erase a chalkboard and the cool top of a desktop against my cheek, as well as the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil.

My loan has already gone back to #libbyapp but I really enjoyed reading The World According to Humphrey and for that matter, I also enjoyed Lulu and the Dog from the Sea on #kindleunlimited. Both books are on the new read-aloud list for @sonlightcurriculum #sonlightkindergarten 2020.
